Mr.
Gotobed would, no doubt, have delighted in such inhospitality.

He would have gone to the second-rate inn, which was very second-rate indeed, and have acquired a further insight into British manners and British prejudices.

As it was, he made himself at home in the best upstairs sitting-room at the Bush, and was quite unaware of the indignity offered to him when Mr.Runciman refused to send him up the best sherry.

Let us hope that this refusal was remembered by the young woman in the bar when she made out the Senator's bill.
He stayed at Dillsborough for three or four days during which he saw Goarly once and Bearside on two or three occasions,--and moreover handed to that busy attorney three bank notes for L5 each.

Bearside was clever enough to make him believe that Goarly would certainly obtain serious damages from the lord.
