Sneak Peek
"The sun was soon over the yard-arm; the mist began to rise and disclose leagues of flat country, now and then dotted with a windmill or a clump of trees; and before long we were aware of a sound of human life, of shouting and laughter and the creaking of wheels, and looking in that direction, saw a great building, like a barn but rudely plastered, with many windows and a roof that shone far abroad. 'That is a tavern,' said I, 'and there is my uncle breakfasting.'"
