During the coach journey to Rotterdam, Christopher suffered from suppressed excitement, much to Roxhythe's amusement.
As soon as they arrived at the inn Roxhythe retired to his room, leaving Christopher to explain to mine host that his lordship was most unwell and must be kept very quiet. At first the landlord was not desirous of having a sick man in his house, but when it was clearly borne in upon him that Roxhythe was an English milor' and would pay lavishly, his objections faded.
