The publican feels like a hard presence at the threshold, his cap a small but vivid marker of his place behind the tavern door. In the brief glimpse of him, brisk physical authority and stubbornness crowd out any easy welcome.

The publican, a tavern keeper, is caught in a forceful struggle at a doorway, pushing men away and snatching a cap from someone's head before flinging it to the ground and picking it up again. The text gives no fuller history or relationships, leaving him as a sharp, physical impression in a chaotic moment.
Description
The publican is identified as a man who wears a cap, the only stated detail of his appearance. His face, hair, eyes, complexion, build, age, and other clothing are not described. His presence is forceful and agitated, conveyed through his physical, confrontational manner.
