I had my misgivings2, for I knew that unsavoury neighbourhood well (it is somewhat different now); but it was necessary to find harbourage somewhere until the ship paid off, which was, as usual, likely to be three days longer. Bill departed unto his own place among the purlieus of Bermondsey, and we two trudged3 off to Oliver's hotel. After the glowing accounts of it I had received from Oliver, I was dumfounded to find it a regular den4; the bar filled with loafers furtive5 of look and mangy of clothing, while the big taproom at the back was just a barn of a place open to all. The fat landlord seemed a decent fellow, but his fatter wife was a terror. She had vigour6 enough to command a regiment7, and woe8 to the loafer who crossed her. Still I felt that it was now too late to draw back, and besides, I had little to lose; so I had my scanty9 kit10 brought up from the ship, and saw it shoved into a corner of the common room, where I reckoned it would be ransacked11 thoroughly12 as soon as darkness set in.
