"I don't know what you mean," added my companion, who certainly looked very innocent.
"O, you don't!"
"Of course I don't. My young friend and I must stay in town over night, and we want a room. Have you any left, Redwood?"
"Not a room."
"Can't you find one?" persisted my friend.
"Everything on this floor is let by the week."
"There's the corner room in the attic," said the man who had opened the door when we entered.
"Show it to them, Glynn," added Redwood, who appeared to be the proprietor of the establishment.
"I know where it is. Give me a light, and I won't trouble you," said Lynchpinne.
