The last arrival at the tavern was Ben Smith and the delegates from Peach Run District. They were assigned a room next to a bridal couple, cautioned to be very quiet. Ben did not consider the room worthy of a Peach Run delegation: the landlord was sure Ben was mistaken and the difference of opinion leads to a riot. The result was that various noises emanated from the seat of war, to the disgust of the bride and groom next door, who, after braving the storm for some time, report to the office. The committee from Peach Run was hauled upon the carpet; condemnation proceedings are in session.
