A Canadian colonel recounts how three Scotch tavern owners in Ryegate Vermont refused to let him stay on the Sabbath despite need. The third allowed him to stay overnight after sundown, then helped him depart at 2 am, charging two shillings sixpence for two nights and a day. The tale argues for Christian Sabbath consistency and activism against Sabbath desecration by landowners.
