But we just stopped a minute to inquire into the state of your health.

Can you tell us which is now the best inn in Albany ?" The face of Mynheer Jacobus Huysman flamed, and his eyes blazed in the center of it, two great red lights.
"Inn! Inn!" he roared in his queer mixture of English, Dutch and German accent "Iss it that your head hass been struck by lightning und you haf gone crazy?
If there wass a thousand inns at Albany you und Robert und Tayoga could not stop at one uf them.

Iss not the house uf Jacobus Huysman good enough for you ?" Robert, Tayoga and the hunter laughed aloud.
"He did but make game of you, Mynheer Jacobus," said Robert.

"We will alter your statement and say if there were a thousand inns in Albany you could not make us stay at any one of them.

Despite your commands we would come directly to your house." Mynheer Jacobus Huysman permitted himself to smile.
