Excerpt from No Man's Friend, Vol. 3 of 3
Mr. Reuben harland reached Westbourne upon-sea long before the sun was down. A fly waiting at the station conveyed him, his valet, and his luggage, to the Royal Hotel on the cliff, where the landlord was very glad to see him, business being slack, and company slow in coming forward, although June had already set in, and the weather was fine, and bright, and hot.
