85 페이지 - Pitcaple by the way. Aboyn took his leave from the laird, but upon no condition he and his lady would not suffer him to go, nor none that was with him that night, but earnestly urged him (though against his will), to bide. They were well entertained, supped merrily, and went to bed joyfully.
