After a short rest period ana
afternoon tea. we felt rejuven-
ated. Our second night out in
Coventry began with a taxi ride
over the winding streets out to
Tile Hill. We were looking for
my husbands favorite pub Of
many years ago. The driver
took us up to Fletchamtead High
way and we pulled up in the damp
night in front of the Phoenix Inn.
Mr.. and Mrs. WE. Howe, the
new owners, greeted us after
several regular patrons asked
Ed if he had once put up there,
(frequented the pub). One elderly
gentleman guided me toward the
group, then we all exchanged
names and salutations. Ed found
a friend of his deceased father,
Billy Banks, andh eagerly quer-
jed him about his Dads last days.
The Phoenix Inn was divided
into four sections. There were
beautiful paintings hung on the
ivory colored walls of the lounge.
A baby grand piano stood on a
raised floor near large open
fireplace. The yellow fingers of
fireflickers leaped about in a
crazy design. Thick red carpet
ing was underfoot. Large, invit-
ing leather chairs were neatly
arranged in groups. Massive
drapes hung over loaded windows
and gave the huge area a feel
ing of coZinesS.
Small groups of men andwomen
stood or sat slipping and chatting.
Suddenly a robust Englishman
and his petite blonde companion
came over, he grabbed my
spouse's hand and they shouted
like old friends should. Ed
hadn't seen his buddy "Ossie"
for nearly 20 years. He and his
companion pulled up seats and
the chatter began.
Closing time comes quickly
in the pubs. Lights out and taps
off must come at half past ten
except on holidays when there
is a gracious hour extension. At
quarter past ten, the barman
begins his nightly spiel in a sing
song voice, Its time for your
last one, ladies and gentlemen.
what'll be your last order7" His
closing lines were a bit differ
ent from one had remembered
from HudderSfield but the mes
sage was the same and the patrons
quietly responded.
AS we started to make arrange
ments to return to the Leofric
Hotel the owner, Mr.. Howe WhiS-
pered in Eds ear that he wanted
us to stay for few minutes and
chat a bit. We agreed and sat
again with OSSie and his friend.
The two Howe boys joined us,

husband made a true friend when
he gave Richard an honorary

agine that the western states

scene resembled a Bronco"
scene that she had believed to be
a backdrop. All during our Wis

showed the Arizona Highways

Howes and promised to send
them some more when we re-
turned home.
