24 The name of Monford, which had been held so famous for virtue and valour in those days, did not a little cause wonder in the hearers, who, desiring him to explain himself, plainly told them his adventures in France and England, and how he took up the trade of begging, and the like; which caused a general joy, since those who had formerly known him by that name, supposed him to be dead. So the bridegroom found himself now more happy than ever. And old Monford promised, for the credit of his daughter, to leave off the begging trade, and to live on what money he had got. So the day was concluded to the joy and satisfaction on all parties.
