11 The men standing at the counter move away at your
\r\8a approach, and one of them, a bilious rogue with
\r\8a close-set eyes and a cleft chin, casts you a
\r\8a murderous glance. You ignore him and ask the
\r\8a innkeeper for a room and stabling for the night. He
\r\8a says the tavern is full and he suggests that you look
\r\8a elsewhere. Chalked on a board above the counter is
\r\8a the message: Rooms - 2 Gold Crowns nightly, and
\r\8a hanging on a line of brass hooks behind the
\r\8a innkeeper's back are seven room keys. The man is
\r\8a lying: every boarding room in this tavern is
\r\8a unoccupied.
