'Jean' ordered some roast chicken and cold ham as well as a third ale before answering Peony's question. Despite having three mugs of ale already, not small, he did not seem even the least tipsy. Ale apparently did not effect him like it did other men.
"I only just arrived in the Shire tonight, and I leave again in the morning. I will probably be passing through again in three days or so and I very well may stop in again. The Green Dragon is a fine inn, and I regret that I am not able to visit it more often."
