Description:
Gentleman Hayes is a permanent guest of the hotel. The children have the impression that he is a long time friend of the blacks. Now in his later years, he has fallen on too hard of times to maintain a house of his own, but still wants to be, "kept in the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed" (e.g. servants and meals prepared, so he has basically moved into one of the rooms upstairs. He is a delightful storyteller, and will often while away the evenings telling stories to guests and the Blacks, (which the children often can overhear from the kitchen). He is a bit of a drunk, and is never without "a little nightcap" but he is not slovenly. He considers himself, and is quite cultured.
At his insistance, "that every house be filled with beautiful music" the female children are given piano lessons. (Not all of them take to it however). His room is crammed full of books, weapons, trophies, maps, knickknacks, and other items that he has built up over a lifetime of adventure. (at least if half of his tales are to be believed.)
