Arriving at the town, we had no difficulty in finding the inn. The town is
composed of one desolate street; and midway in that street stands the inn—an
ancient stone building sadly out of repair. The painting on the sign-board is
obliterated. The shutters over the long range of front windows are all closed. A
cock and his hens are the only living creatures at the door. Plainly, this is one of
the old inns of the stage-coach period, ruined by the railway. We pass through
the open arched doorway, and find no one to welcome us. We advance into
the stable yard behind; I assist my wife to dismount. No bell to ring. No human
creature to answer when I call.



Give two things that show how deserted the place is.

, 3 Read this extract.


Mrs. Fairbank saunters* gracefully down the length of the yard and does—
what all women do, when they find themselves in a strange place. She opens
every door as she passes it, and peeps in. On my side, I have just recovered my
breath, I am on the point of shouting for the stableman for the third and last
time, when I hear Mrs. Fairbank suddenly call to me:

“Percy! Come here!”
Her voice is eager and agitated. She has opened a last door at the end of the
yard, and has started back from some sight which has suddenly met her view.
I hitch the horses’ bridles on a rusty nail in the wall near me, and join my wife.
She has turned pale, and catches me nervously by the arm.

“Good heavens!” she cries; “look at that!”

I look—and what do I see? I see a dingy little stable, containing two stalls. In
one stall a horse is munching his corn. In the other a man is lying asleep.

A worn, withered, woebegone** man in a stableman’s clothes. His hollow
wrinkled cheeks, his scanty grizzled hair, his dry yellow skin, tell their own tale
of past sorrow or suffering.



How does the writer use language and structure to describe the experiences of Percy
Fairbank and Mrs Fairbank in the stable?
