The Affair at the Inn
by Kate Douglas Wiggin Mary Findlater Jane Findlater Allan McAulay
Gay and Hancock, Ltd. 12 and 13 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden LONDON 1910
An account of certain events which are supposed to have occurred in the month of May 19--, at a quiet inn on Dartmoor, in Devonshire; the events being recorded by the persons most interested in the unfolding of the little international comedy.
The story is written by four authors, each author being responsible for one character, as follows:--
THE AFFAIR AT THE INN
VIRGINIA POMEROY
'I have no fault to find with Great Britain,' I said, 'except that it is so circumscribed! I have outgrown my first feeling, which was a fear of falling off the edge; but I still have a sensation of being cabined, cribbed, confined.'
She remarked that she had always preferred a small, perfectly finished, and well-managed estate to a large, rank, wild, and overgrown one, and I am bound to say that I think the retort was a good one. It must have been, for it silenced me.
We have done Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and having begun at the top of the map, have gone as far as Devon in England. We have been travelling by counties during the last year, because it seemed tidier and more thorough and businesslike; less confusing too, for the places look so alike after a while that I can never remember where we have been without looking in my diary. I don't know what will come after England,--perhaps Australia and New Zealand. I suppose they speak English there, of a sort.
If complete ignorance of a place, combined with great power of appreciation when one is introduced to it,--if these constitute a favourable mental attitude, then I have achieved it. That Devonshire produces Lanes, Dumplings, Cider, Monoliths, Clouted Cream, and Moors I know, but all else in the way of knowledge or experience is to be the captive of my bow and spear.
