And what dost thou purpose to do, Raymond? inquired the Constable.
gpt
Surely there is little need to hasten westwards to thy newly-gained estates; 'twould be better far to wait the return of the Devonshire men. Tarry awhile at Portchester, for methinks there is much to be done here before setting out on thy travels. And thou, Sir Reginald? Wilt accept such hospitality that my poor castle can offer?

I must first seek out my daughter Audrey, quoth Sir Reginald.
gpt
And I have but little doubt that Raymond will bear me company.
human
Doth she know of thy return?
gpt
Nay, and I'll warrant the maid will be taken aback when we arrive at the town of Farnham.
human
Well, Raymond, what are thy plans?
gpt
I bear Sir Reginald company; then, having won or lost my suit, I will return to the castle, Sir John. For there are several small matters I must give attention to at Hamble and at the Abbey of Netley, without which I cannot go to Churston.
