Abstract
The private bar of a public house is called ‘the snug.’ It is usually about seven feet long by four feet wide. There is a screened counter there, and through this, as through a grill, orders are called to the barman. In very gorgeous public houses the snug is bigger, in many it is smaller than the measurements given above; but in the house where she went the snug was exactly of this size.
Two other stories, ‘The Wolf’ ‘School-Fellows,’ which were printed with ‘Sawdust,’ may be found in Etched in Moonlight (London: Macmillan, 1928).
