#2: Initial revision
You capitalize `The` if: - It begins a sentence. - It is part of the name. So if the inn is `The Cloak and Dagger Inn`, everything is capitalized (except the `and` of course). If the name is the `Cloak and Dagger Inn`, then the `the` is not capitalized, as it is not part of the name. On the other hand, if the `the` does not _start_ the name, then it is not capitalized: `Inn of the Cloak and Dagger`. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. ;)
