There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital inn. Let there be ever so great plenty of good things, ever so much desire that everybody should be easy, in the nature of things it cannot be: The master of the house is anxious to entertain his guests; the guests are anxious to be agreeable to him. Whereas at a tavern there is a general freedom from anxiety. You are sure you are welcome; the more noise you make, the more trouble you give, the more good things you call for, the welcome you are.
