Which pub?
“There are only four pubs in this village,” the visitor was informed, “one in each street. The village’s four streets meet at the crossroads at right-angles. This street is the High Street. To reach the Blue Boar from the Griffin you must turn left. To reach the Dragon from the Red Lion you have to turn right.”
