Bells and Motley (Taken at the Flood)

In the novel Taken at the Flood, Bells and Motley is an inn located in the village of Warmsley Vale. It is mentioned in passing when an unknown man, using the alias Enoch Arden, comes from the railway station by a footpath, passes by Rowley Cloade's farm and asks him for directions. Rowley mechanically describes the way to the village and, upon Arden's request, volunteers information about possible accomodation. He states that Warmsley Vale's two inns – the Stag and the Bells and Motley – both offer free rooms and are of practically the same quality. However, he goes on to recommend the former, in which Arden then indeed gets a room.
