"The thinnest yellow light of
November is more warming and exhilarating
than any wine they tell of.
The mite which November contributes
becomes equal in
value to the bounty of July."

Tavern Wench
I am the proprietress of a colonial tavern in Delaware established in 1825. The early taverns were not opened wholly for the convenience of travelers; they were for the comfort of the townspeople, for the interchange of news and opinions, the sale of solacing liquors, and the incidental sociability; in fact, the importance of the tavern to its local neighbors was far greater than to travelers.
