Chapter Five

David was traveling to London, and his arrangements had all been made in detail. The waiter at the coach stop, sensed David's youth and naivete, and promptly talked him out of his ale. The waiter, he enjoyed it!

"He came in here,’ said the waiter, looking at the light through the tumbler, ‘ordered a glass of this ale - WOULD order it - I told him not - drank it, and fell dead. It was too old for him. It oughtn’t to be drawn; that’s the fact.’

I was very much shocked to hear of this melancholy accident, and said I thought I had better have some water."
