"Good idea," Frederic replied and tucked his arm through the crook of Karen's. The cabbie overheard them and let them off at what he called the best inn in town- "Reasonable rates, excellent service, and the food is just magnificent, I tell ya!" he announced, ever-cheerful, and Clover waved a happy farewell to the man as the family headed into the inn. The little boy was rubbing his eyes by the time Frederic secured them a comfortable room, asking Karen in a low voice if two beds- one for Clover, one for them -would be alright, or would the same be good but she would sleep in her own bed and he and Clover would take the other.
