the worst。 I have but two beds; and they are both in a
chamber; and the carrier and his daughter lies in the one;
and you and your wife must lie in the other。

For we have travelled very far today;
We must be content with such as you have。

CONSTABLE。
All the town; sir; we have not left a house
unsearched that uses to lodge。
MAYOR。
Surely; my lord of Rochester was then deceived;
Or ill informed of sir John Old…castle;
Or if he came this way he's past the town。
He could not else have scaped you in the search。
CONSTABLE。
The privy watch hath been abroad all night;
And not a stranger lodgeth in the town
But he is known; only a lusty priest
We found in bed with a pretty wench;
That says she is his wifeyonder at the sheeres;
But we have charged the host with his forth coming
Tomorrow morning。
MAYOR。
What think you best to do?
CONSTABLE。
Faith; master mayor; here's a few straggling houses
beyond the bridge; and a little Inn where carriers use
to lodge; though I think sure he would ne'er lodge
there: but we'll go search; & the rather; because there
came notice to the town the last night of an Irish man;
