"The Law of Hotel Life; or, the Wrongs and Rights of Host and Guest" by R. Vashon Rogers Jr. is a satirical narrative written in the late 19th century. The text explores the experiences of a newlywed couple as they navigate the unconventional and often comical landscape of hospitality laws and innkeeping. Through their various encounters with innkeepers and other guests, it seems the book will delve into the rights and responsibilities of both hosts and guests in the context of accommodations. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a married couple embarking on their honeymoon, who plan to stay at a village inn. Their enthusiasm is quickly tempered by the stark reality of their accommodations, which are far from luxurious. The husband, a lawyer, educates his wife on historical and legal aspects of inns and hotels while they encounter rude innkeepers, unsatisfactory food, and various unpleasantries that bring humor and irony to their situation. The couple's discussions highlight the legal implications of hospitality, while also portraying their personal experiences filled with quirks and misunderstandings, setting the stage for further exploration of the intrinsic laws that govern hotel life.
