PAKT THE SECOND. 



CHAPTER I. 

 PISCATOR JUNIOR, AND YIATOR. 



UFirst Bag.] 



Pise. You are happily overtaken, sir ; may a man be so 

 bold as to inquire how far you travel this way 1 



YIAT. Yes sure, sir, very freely, though it be a question I 

 cannot very well resolve you, as not knowing myself how far 

 it is to Ashborn, where I intend to-night to take up my inn. 



Pise. Why then, sir, seeing I perceive you to be a stranger 

 in these parts, I shall take upon me to inform you, that from 

 the town you last came through, called Brelsford,* it is five 

 miles ; and you are not yet above half a mile on this side. 



YIAT. So much 1 I was told it was but ten miles from 

 Derby; and, methinks, I have rode almost so far already. 



* Now spelt " Brailsford." It is a mere road-side village. Brailsford 

 brook was once celebrated for its trout. I cannot speak highly of it now. ED.
