being in fair great dining chamber" he
tells us, "where the table was covered fol-
dinner, and there awaited my lady's com
ing; and after she came thither out of hel
own chamber she received me most gently
like one of noble estate having train Of
gentlewomen. And when she with he1
train came all out she said to me: For as
much,' quoth she, sas ye be an Englishman
whose it is in your country to Esf
all ladies and gentlewomen without Of
fence, and although it be not so; in thif
realm, (France), yet will be so bold to
kiss you, and so shall all my maidens.' By
means whereof kissed my lady and all
her maidens." Chaucer frequently alludes
to this old custom, and our reader may
recollect how, IN the 'sSompnour's Tale
he notices the zeal with which the holy
father performs this act of gallantry
When the mistress of theIhouse enters the
room where he is busily engaged in "grop
ing tenderly" her husbands conscience
we are told how
He rises up full curtishly
And her embraceth in his armes narrow,
And ksseth her sweet, and chirketh as spar.

With his ippes.
/. Shakespeare again introduced it, as il
the 'sMerry Wives of Windsor" where to
kiss the hostess is indirectly spoken of as
a common courtesy of the day. In Lupton's
London" too Q632), an established at
traction of a country inn, we are told, was
pretty hostess or her daughter to salute
the guests, without which, it would appear
there was small chance of it's becoming a
popular resort for the customers of that
period.
