By the way, where do you pass the night ?" "At some hotel--I don't know which." "Suppose you go to the Adams House.

I've got to stop overnight somewhere, and it might be pleasanter going in company." "Where is the Adams House ?" "On Washington Street, not very far off--ten or fifteen minutes' walk." "If it's a good place, I'm willing." "It is an excellent hotel, and moderate in price.

We might go up there now, and engage a room, and then spend the evening where we like." "Very well," said Andy.
They soon reached the Adams House--a neat, unpretending hotel--and entered.

They walked up to the desk, and Fairfax spoke to the clerk.
"Can you give us a room ?" "Certainly.

Enter your names." "Shall we room together ?" asked Fairfax, calmly.
Now Andy, though he had had no objection to going to the theater with his present companion, did not care to take a room with a stranger, of whom he knew nothing.
