Between four, and five in the Palace: but how shall I know him? I never saw him. As I wished: But you may easily. He is of a comely stature; and will be in a red cloak and a white Feather, Besides I'll wait on him. I thank you sir. Fare you well sir. Good Foist, I shall make a Whiskin of you now, and for nothing too. I have been a little bold with my Master's name in this answer; the knowledge of which he is unguilty of. I saw how he shifted her off: Therefore I will further be bold both with his name and person, which I will put upon a friend in store. My special friend, Captain Anvil, a notable lecherous Tup: He has been at me for a bit out of my Masters flock any time these three weeks. I'll pleasure him with her for ready money. I know 'tis some cast stuff, that my Master has done withal. And let him take what follows. Well sir. And what said Master Luckless? Sir Philip you mean forsooth. The very same sir. But I begin to call him now, as I must call him hereafter. Lady's do not call their husbands, as they are Knights: as sir Philip, sir Timothy, or sir Gregory. Did you ever hear my Lady Squelch call her husband sir Paul? No. But master Squelch. Indeed all others must sir them by their Christen names; because they are Knights, and to be known from other men: only their own wives must master them, by their Surnames; because they are Ladies, and will not know them from other men. But to our business. What said he to you? His worship said forsooth— Nay, What said you to him first? I love to hear things in order. I said that as you bade me forsooth. As I bade you, Clotpoll? what was that? Shall I ever mould thee into a Gentleman Usher thinkst thou, that stand'st so? Come forwards sir, and repeat. My Mistress commends her best love unto your Worship; and desires to know how your Worship came home last night; and how your Worship have rested; and how your Worship does this morning? she hopes the best of your worship's health; and would be glad to see your Worship at your Worships best leisure. This was very well: word for word as I instructed. But did you worship him so much? Yes truly, and he commended me for it; and said I showed my breeding. Now sir. His answer? in his own words. Quoth he. I thank thy Mistress, and I thank thee. Prithee commend my service to her, and tell her, my worship came home upon my worship's foot-cloth; my worship took very good rest, in my worship's bed: My worship has very little to do this Morning, and will see her at my worship's leisure.
