>They looked at each other, wondering who would speak first.
While round them the atmosphere chilled - and it was not the storm doing
this. The second stranger, already nervous enough to ask for hospitality
rather than take it by right, gave in to the cold audience first:
"I have been many things, Prince and Pauper, ..."
