Excerpt from Blackfriars, or the Monks of Old, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romantic Chronicle
These guests, among whom might be dis cerned several cowled figures, were waited upon by a number of tapsters, trencher scrapers, and drawers, under the lynx-eyed surveillance of the host, or inn-keeping Jove, who sat within an alcove at the far end in fat content and satis faction.
