"My lord, pray ye. come into the house
and tho knight went with st. Betsey

smoke here, for Is it not a shame that you
who are the foundation and prop of your
house, should have no place to put your

led him to chair and with her own
fingers filed him pipe and from that
time the knight sat in the chamber
and smoked his weed.
