# Page Analysis This is running prose from a travel narrative titled "A Month's Tour" (page 17). The text describes the author's arrival in Conway, Wales, around eight o'clock in the evening, where they lodged at Mr. Read's Bull's-Head Inn. It characterizes Mrs. Read, a native of Cheshire, as talkative and somewhat extravagant in her management. The passage then moves to the following morning, when the author rose at six o'clock to survey the town, which they describe as situated on the west side of a river and governed as a corporation town with a mayor.
