To the west, sounds of merriment fill the area and waves of laughter
ripple throughout the common room as one of the performers tells a funny
joke to the crowd.  There is a simple yet well crafted table here with
wooden benches on three of its four sides while the fourth side butts up
against a window looking out on the countryside.  Serving women bustle
about, serving mugs of ale and platters of delicious looking food.  
     There is a small wooden table surrounded by three benches in the corner.
A busy serving woman apologizes as she brushes by you. 
A busy serving woman asks you, 'Hello darling, would you like to know todays specials?'
A dusty man sits at the table, reading a book on birds.
