We took a carriage, and directed the driver, a jovial kishman, to take us to a good
hotel. He took us to the best. Porters carried our luggage into the lobby, an I went to
the desk, turned the register around and registered for three. The clerk was busy at the
key-rack. He glanced at us furtively, but kept himself occupied. It grew obvious that
he was protracting his time. Finally, he could delay no longer and came to the desk.
As he came his expression revealed the lie he was to speak. He turned the register
round, examined our names, and while his face flushed a bit said, "I'm sorry, but we
haven't got a vacant room." This statement, which I knew almost absolutely to be
false set a number of emotions in action: humiliation, chagrin, indignation,
resentment, anger: but in the midst of them all I could detect a sense of pity for the
man who had to make it, for he was, to all appearances, an honest, decent person. It
was then about eleven o'clock and I sought the eyes of the clerk and asked if he
expected any rooms to be vacated at noon. He stammered that he did not. I then said
to him that we would check our bags and take the first room available by night.
Pressure from me seemed to stiffen him, and he told us that we could not; that we had
better try some other hotel.
