"Are there many people in there already?" said I as I climbed up, and Timothy handed me the bundles. "Noa," replied the waggoner, "there be nobody but a mighty clever 'poticary or doctor, I can't tell which; but he wears an uncommon queer hat, and he talk all sort of doctor stuff and there be his odd man and his odd boy; that be all, and there be plenty of room, and plenty o' clean stra'."
She ventured to ask "Master Poticary" whether he sold "Balsam of Egypt." He was interested at once, and asked whether it were for her own use. "Nay, good master, you are thinking of my face; but that was a burn long ago healed. It is for my poor little brother."
His most famous is "The Four P's," a contest of wit between a "Pardoner, a Palmer, a Pedlar and a Poticary." The characters here strongly suggest those of Chaucer. Another interesting Interlude is called "The Play of the Weather." In this Jupiter and the gods assemble to listen to complaints about the weather and to reform abuses. Naturally everybody wants his own kind of weather.
