"Come with me," she said, "and I will show you your chamber."
CHAPTER XXVIII. ON WATCH.
There was nothing especially noticeable about the chamber into which Scott and the earl were ushered. It was a corner apartment, and had two windows on different sides of the room.
There was a double bed, a washstand, a small table, and two chairs, besides a plain pine bureau. There was no carpet on the floor, but beside the bed was a cheap rug.
"Will this do you?" asked the woman, as she set the candle on the table.
"Yes," answered the earl, after a comprehensive glance around the room.
"We don't keep a hotel. If we did——"
"My good lady, make no apologies. We are obliged to you for taking us in."
