Master Geraldine, May I be bold to ask you but one question. The which I'de be resolved in. In your travels Through France, through Savoy, and through Italy, Spain, and the Empire, Greece and Palestine, Which breeds the choicest beauty's. O you strive To express a most unheard of modesty, And seldom found in any Traveller, Especially of our Courtrey, thereby seeking To make your self peculiar. One thing more, Were you to marry, You that know these climbs, Their states and their conditions, out of which Of all these countries would you choose your wife. If their recreation Be, as I make no question, on truth grounded, it'll beger sudden laughter. Nay hear it, it's a good one. How can you, That are as you confess, a single man, Enter so far into these Mystical secrets Of Marriage, which as yet you never proved. What you Men Most meditate, we Women seldom dream of. When think you? Yet you see, Like Debtors, such as would not break their day; The Treasure late received, we tender back, The which, the longer you can spare, you still The more shall bind us to you. What Master Dalavill, Will you not bear us company. Well, be't then at your pleasure. Beside, these cannot Be missed out of so many; In full fields, The gleanings are allowed.

Plot summary
Plot — The English Traveller
Geraldine has recently returned from foreign travels, to find that, during his absence, a childhood friend, whom he was expected to marry, married old Wincott instead; she did not seek the marriage, but has no complaints. Having no children of his own, Wincott treats Geraldine as a close friend, and is trusting enough to leave the young man alone with his wife. Geraldine agrees with her that, should they both survive Wincott, he will be her second husband, and he agrees to remain single until then. Dalavill spreads rumours that Geraldine and Mistress Wincott are lovers. Concerned at the possible scandal, Old Geraldine tests his son by proposing that he should marry; Geraldine’s refusal is taken as confirmation of the affair. Geraldine protests his innocence, but to prove it, and silence the gossip, his father insists that he should never again visit the Wincotts. His absence grieves Wincott, and Geraldine agrees to explain himself at a secret midnight meeting. He is pressed by Wincott to stay the night but, unable to sleep, decides to pass the time looking innocently at Mistress Wincott in her bed. Outside her room he overhears her talking to Dalavill: they are lovers. Disillusioned, Geraldine plans to leave England. Wincott lays on a feast to mark his departure, and everyone is invited. At the party, Geraldine confronts Mistress Wincott with what he knows. She is mortified, rejects Dalavill, faints, and dies, having written to her husband a confession. Dalavill flees the house. Wincott confirms Geraldine as his heir. In the other plot, Young Lionel lives with riotous prodigality while his father is away, abetted by some of the servants, and fills the house with whores and drunken gallants. When Old Lionel returns unexpectedly, intending to stay at home in future, Young Lionel and his associates panic and hide inside the house - leaving themselves with the problem of how to get out before Old Lionel finds them. The steward Reignald takes matters in hand, and tells them to make no sound, and pretend the house is deserted. Old Lionel finds his house apparently shut up, and Reignald explains that it has been abandoned: a previous owner committed a murder there, and now the house is haunted. When the former owner denies this, Old Lionel attempts to have him arrested. Meanwhile, Reignald is harried by a usurer to whom Young Lionel owes money. Old Lionel overhears this, and Reignald explains that the money was borrowed to 1624 buy alternative accommodation.…
