Intruders, 1881. 'This, too, is an incident of the Tourist Season. It might be in the Lake District, or in North Wales, at a small rustic inn which has but one parlour. No place of temporary sojourn is more apt to be convenient and agreeable, so long as one guest or one party can have sole occupation. The table is plain wood, with half a table-cloth, and the chairs are mere Windsor, hard and uncushioned; but healthy young persons do not want a sofa...They have ordered a nice little dinner, with a bottle of tolerable wine...Rather than break in upon such confidences, who would not prefer to sit in the common tap-room? Let us hope that such will be the voluntary determination of those two male pedestrian tourists, with their knapsacks and their big sticks, their dusty jackets and knickerbockers, whom the apologetic waiter has been obliged to usher into the room. If they are gentlemen, they will not choose to stay there, provided there be any other apartment where they can sit down to eat and drink'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
