Dorothy, he said,
gpt
You are welcome, young gentlemen, Dame Dorothy said,
human
Why, Dorothy, you are always running down our city, though I know right well that were I to move down with you to your native Essex again you would very soon cry out for the pleasures of the town.
gpt
That would I not, she said.
human
I would be well contented to live in fresh country air all the rest of my life, though I do not say that London has not its share of pleasures also, though I care but little for them.
gpt
Ah, Master Lirriper, her husband said laughing,
human
Are you hungry, young sirs? the dame asked.
gpt
Because if so the maid shall bring up a manchet of bread and a cup of sack; if not, our evening meal will be served in the course of an hour.
human
If you will allow us, mistress, as doubtless you have private matters to talk of with Master Lirriper, my brother and I will walk out for an hour to see something of the town.
gpt
Mind that you lose not your way, Master Lirriper said.
human
Do not go beyond Eastchepe, I beg you. There are the shops to look at there, and the fashions of dress and other matters that will occupy your attention well enough for that short time. To-morrow morning I will myself go with you, and we can then wander further abroad. I have promised your good father to look after you, you know; and it will be but a bad beginning if you meet with any untoward adventure upon this the first day of your arrival here.
gpt
We will not go beyond the limits of Eastchepe; and as to adventures, I can't see very well how any can befall us.
human
Oh, there are plenty of adventures to be met with in London, young sir; and I shall be well content if on the day when we again embark on board the _Susan_ none of them have fallen to your share.
