An overnight stay

…decided to stay the night in a small town.

The only place with rooms available was a quaint English pub “The George and Dragon” which had a lovingly painted sign with a Knight beside a defeated dragon blowing in the evening breeze.

Entering the bar room, which while empty had a roaring fire against the back wall, leather-padded booths, and a mahogany bar with brass rails, polished to a shine, they went up to the bar and asked for a room.

“Rooms cost £20 per night, we don’t accept Euros or Dollars, and you must be out by 7am tomorrow, or else you pay for both days.”

“Alright then, could I get something to eat, madam?”

“The kitchen closed at 6, and I am not going back there until 11am tomorrow, no matter what you say. Anything else?”

“Yes, could I please talk to George?”
