Note 44 — Tales of a Wayside Inn.

The Wayside Inn is the old Red House at Sudbury, Mass.; the story-tellers are guests that used to gather there. The old house still stands; the old names still live in the memory of the living, Luigi Monti, the Sicilian; Henry Wales, the student; Ole Bull, the musician; Theophilus Parsons, the poet; Edrehi, a Boston oriental dealer, the merchant; Professor Treadwell, an amateur doctor of theology, the theologian; Lyman Howe, the innkeeper.
