B.    Identification of Short story

She informed them that she was a professional man's widow, left in needy circumstances by the rather sudden death of her husband, and she spoke anxiously of the conveniences of the establishment.

     Mrs. Marchmill said, “I liked the situation and the house; but, it being small,” there would not be accommodation enough, unless she could have all the rooms.

     When the twilight had come, The landlady mused with an air of disappointment. She wanted the visitors to be her tenants very badly, she said, with obvious honesty. But unfortunately two of the rooms were occupied permanently by a bachelor gentleman.

"Perhaps, however," she added, "he might offer to go for a time."

     They would not hear of this, and went back to the hotel, intending to proceed to the agent's to inquire further. Hardly had they sat down to tea when the landlady called. Her gentleman, she said, had been so obliging as to offer to give up his rooms three or four weeks rather than drive the newcomers away.

     "It is very kind, but we won't inconvenience him in that way," said the Marchmills.

     "O, it won't inconvenience him, I assure you!" said the landlady eloquently. "You see, he's a different sort of young man from most - dreamy, solitary, rather melancholy - and he cares more to be here when the south-westerly gales are beating against the door, and the sea washes over the Parade, and there's not a soul in the place, than he does now in the season. He'd just as soon be where, in fact in the dawn, he's going temporarily to a little cottage on the Island opposite, for a change." She hoped therefore that they would come.
