But doest thou remember the captain, that was here with the king even now, that brought the young prince prisoner?
MOUSE.
O, very well.
SEGASTO.
Go unto him and bid him come to me. Tell him I have a matter in secret to impart to him.
MOUSE.
I will, master:--master, what's his name?
SEGASTO.
Why, captain Tremelio.
MOUSE.
O, the meal man. I know him very well. He brings meal every Saturday. But hark you, master, must I bid him come to you or must you come to him?
SEGASTO.
No, sir, he must come to me.
MOUSE.
Hark you, master, how if he be not at home? What shall I do then?
SEGASTO.
Why, then thou leavest word with some of his folks.
MOUSE.
Oh, master, if there be no body within, I will leave word with his dog.
SEGASTO.
Why, can his dog speak?
MOUSE.
I cannot tell; wherefore doth he keep his chamber else?
SEGASTO.
To keep out such knaves as thou art.
MOUSE.
Nay, be lady, then go your self.
SEGASTO.
You will go, sir, will ye not?
MOUSE.
Yes, marry, will I. O tis come to my head:
And a be not within, I'll bring his chamber to you.
SEGASTO.
What, wilt thou pluck down the King's house?
MOUSE.
Nay, be lady, I'll know the price of it first. Master, it is such a hard name, I have forgotten it again. Ipray you, tell me his name.
