That is how Moore arrived at Benchurch. It was a market town, and once a week it was quite busy for a few hours. The rest of the time it was a very quiet, sleepy little place. Moore spent his first night at the only hotel in the town. The landlady was very kind and helpful, but the hotel was not really quiet enough for him.

'Where are you going to stay, sir?' the landlady asked. Moore told her.
She threw up her hands in horror. 'Not the Judge's House!' she said, and she grew pale as she spoke.
