[10] This is an ancient parallel with
“Who comes there?” “Grenadier.” “What d’ye want?” “Pot o’ beer.” “Where’s yer money?” “Haven’t got.” “Get away, you drunken sot!”
[11] A large hotel was also built outside Slough Station, eighteen miles from Paddington, for weary and hungry travellers. Such were the quaint ideas of the early railway directors, who could not forget the necessities, the usages and customs of the coaching age, when inns at short stages were indispensable. The hotel at Slough was from the first a failure, and the building has long been an orphanage.
