The Red Colonel — George Edgar
Excerpt from The Red Colonel
The Black Lion is a. Building of a dusky, red brick color, with a gabled frontage. The hotel has always prided itself on an ability to offer good accommoda tion for man and beast but, in these days, the beast does not amount to much. The square stable yard, harbor for gigs and chaises of another generation, is now a garage. Trim young men in uniform, and the scent of petrol, have ousted straw-chewing, lean-jawed men in corduroy and the homely smell of stables.
