“Well, my name is Frank Merriwell, and these are members of my baseball team. We would like to know your rates.”
“Won’t do ye any good to know.”
“Why not?”
“My house is full, an’ I can’t accommodate ye.”
“Oh, come!” exclaimed Frank; “we’ll pay in advance.”
“That don’t make no difference. Can’t take ye.”
“We’ll put up with accommodations of any sort.”
“Ain’t got any sort for ye. I tell ye the house is full an’ runnin’ over. That settles it.”
“Where can we find accommodations in this town?”
“Can’t say.”
