The suggestion brought a swift change to sadness over his face and drew a veil of vagueness over his eyes. ""No, Firio, and I'll tell you why: the odor of a quail broiled on a spit belongs at the end of a day's journey, when you camp in sight of no habitation. You should sit on a dusty blanket-roll; you should eat by the light of the embers or a guttering candle. No, Firio, we'll wait till some other day. And it's not exactly courtesy to our hostess to bring in provender from the outside.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
