My friends,--I have spare blankets, and I shall need no more; The tenth man can have my bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor. In room marked A two men were placed; the third was lodged in B; The fourth to C was then assigned, the fifth retired to D; In E the sixth he tucked away, in F the seventh man, The eighth and ninth in G and H, and then to A he ran (Wherein the host, as I have said, had laid two travellers by); Then taking one--the tenth and last--he lodged him safe in I: Nine spare rooms--a room for each--were made to serve for ten. And this it is that puzzles me and many wiser men.
