48302From Wednesday night till Saturday, having 303been very troublesome, but much more welcome, 304to Master Colts, in the morning I took my 305leave, and was accompanied with many gentlemen 306a mile of my way. Which mile Master Colts 307his fool would needs dance with me, and had his 308desire; where leaving me, two fools parted fair in 309a foul way, I keeping on my course to Clare, where 310I a while rested, and then cheerfully set forward 311to Bury.

49312Passing from Clare towards Bury, I was invited 313to the house of a very bountiful widow, whose 314husband during his life was a yeoman of that 315country, dying rich no doubt, as might well appear 316by the riches and plenty that abounded in 317every corner of the house. She is called the widow 318Everet.

50319At her house were met above thirty gentlemen. 320Such and so plentiful variety of good fare I have 321very seldom seen in any commoner's house. Her 322behavior, being very modest and friendly, argued 323her bringing up not to be rude. She was a woman 324of good presence, and if a fool may judge, of no small 325discretion.

51326From this widow's I danced to Bury, coming 327in on the Saturday in the afternoon, at 328what time the right honorable the Lord Chief 329Justice entered at another gate of the town, the 330wondering and regardless multitude -- making his honor 331clear way -- left the streets where he passed to gape 332at me, the throng of them being so great that poor 333Will Kemp was seven times stayed ere he could 334recover his inn. By reason of the great snow that 335then fell, I stayed at Bury from Saturday in the 336second week of my setting forth till Thursday night 337the next week following.
