Goodman Farmer: Yes, a plentiful harvest indeed. I saw many other wayfarers (22) on the way coming to town as well. This years annual farmers market must be huge!
Goodwife Hope: Good day Goodman Farmer and Goody Faith. I do verily (20) believe that this farmers market will be a big one. I overheard the beadle (1) saying how this year was a great growing season, so the farmers market will have to be expanded to twice the size!

Goodman Farther: Oh, my dear friend Goodman (5) Blacksmith is in the pillory. What a shame of him to besmirch (2) his name.
Goody Faith: That is sad. I heard he was a parishioner (11) with a kind heart. I wonder what came to him to perform a bad deed. One night he told me that thou (19) perform vigils (21) on occasion.
Goodwife Faith: Thou may have stolen a horn-book (9) for his son to learn to read. One day his wife, Goodwife (6) Prosperity, informed me of not having enough money to purchase one.
Good Woman Faith: Oh dear, what a shame. I own one that lies betwixt (3) a shelf, by the rocking chair that I do ply (13) handmade clothes on each night. But now I must be off now, though I had a pleasure talking with you both. Farewell!
Goodwife Faith: Goodbye Faith! I must go as well to talk to the clergyman (4) about the providence (15) of the church, whom I see roaming the streets
