"No, thank Heaven! monsieur, so parties travelling either by diligence or post patronise me, as the post-station is only a few yards from my door."
"So there is a relay station near here."
"On the other side of the street, almost directly opposite."
"Can you give me a room and have a breakfast prepared for two persons? I am expecting some one who will call and inquire for Master Dupont, for that is my name."
"Very well, monsieur."
"As soon as this person comes, you will serve breakfast in my room."
"Very well, and monsieur's baggage, shall I send for that?"
"I have no baggage. Have many post-carriages passed to-day?"
"Not a single one, monsieur."
"Neither from Paris nor Dieppe?"
