Abraham + 

Good day, friend. + 

Innkeeper + 

Who’s there? Good day, Sir. Come in! + 

Abraham + 

Have you a bed for a traveller who wants to spend a night here? + 

Innkeeper + 

Why certainly! I never turn anyone away. + 

Abraham + 

I am glad of it. + 

Innkeeper + 

Come in then, and I will order supper for you. + 

Abraham + 

I owe you thanks for this kind welcome, but I have a greater favour to ask. + 

Innkeeper + 

Ask what you like. I will do my best for you. + 

Abraham + 

Accept this small present. May the beautiful girl who, I am told, lives here, have supper with me? + 

Innkeeper + 

Why should you wish to see her? + 

Abraham + 

It would give me much pleasure. I have heard so much talk of her beauty. + 

Innkeeper + 

Whoever has spoken to you of her has told only the truth. It would be hard to find a finer wench. + 

Abraham + 

I am in love with her already. + 

Innkeeper + 

It’s queer that an old man like you should dangle after a young girl. + 

Abraham + 

I swear I came here on purpose to feast my eyes on her. + 
