"... the dusk of the evening coming on, I entered Kendal almost in the dark, ... My inn promised sadly, having two wooden galleries, like Scotland, in front of it: it was indeed an ill-contrived house, but kept by civil, sensible people; so I stayed two nights with them, and fared and slept very comfortably."
