"The perfect inn guests,'' said Marilyn Mudry, who has run the Hawthorne Inn in Concord with her husband for more than three decades. "Just a cute, charming older couple. That's what we thought, anyway.'' But that was before 79-year-old Benjamin and 72-year-old Jane Wolff allegedly skipped out on the $3,600 bill, and before the Wolffs, who were arraigned in Concord District Court Friday on charges of defrauding an innkeeper, were implicated in similar swindles in Rockport, Newburyport, and Waltham. Authorities say they preyed on proprietors' trust and bounced checks for thousands of dollars at inns catering to a well-heeled clientele.
