Seignior, she's much honour'd in the Overture, and my Abilities shall not be wanting to fix the Concord. But have you been a Traveller, Sir? Scar. Without Circumlocutions, Sir, I have seen all the Regions beneath the Sun and Moon. Doct. Moon, Sir! You never travell'd thither, Sir? Scar.
At Noon we halted, getting our Dinner upon a Marble-Stone, that rose it self half a Foot above the Surface of the Earth, and might contain the Compass of a Quarter of an Acre of Land, being very even, there growing upon it in some Places a small red Berry, like a Salmon-Spawn, there boiling out of the main Rock curious Springs of as delicious Water, as ever I drank in any Parts I ever travell'd in.
Why, I hope all hours are lawful with a Man's own Wife. Sir Cau. But wise Men have respect to Times and Seasons. Sir Feeb. Enter Ralph. Ral. Sir, here's a young Gentleman without wou'd speak with you. Sir Feeb. Bear. Pray, Sir, use mine, it is a travell'd Blade I can assure you, Sir. Sir Feeb. I thank you, Sir. Enter Ralph and Bellmour disguised, gives him a Letter, he reads. How my Nephew! Bel.
"He travell'd Europe round, And gather'd every vice on foreign ground; Till home return'd, and perfectly well-bred, With nothing but a solo in his head; Stolen from a duel, follow'd by a nun, And, if a borough choose him not undone." But this vice did not descend among the body of the people.
This Day we travell'd about 30 Miles, and lay all Night at a House which was built for the Indian Trade, the Master thereof we had parted with at the French Town, who gave us Leave to make use of his Mansion.

There was a dead silence in the cavern, only interrupted by the low and suppressed moaning of the wounded female, and by the hard breathing of the prisoner.

Mundungus, with an immense fortune, made the whole tour; going on from Rome to Naples, from Naples to Venice, from Venice to Vienna, to Dresden, to Berlin, without one generous connection or pleasurable anecdote to tell of; but he had travell'd straight on, looking neither to his right hand nor his left, lest Love or Pity should seduce him out of his road.
