The room is dark and the air is still. There are large barrels of wine from various decades. The corners are spotted with cobwebs.

secret lovers seeking privacy
husband
I try to be good to my wife.  I want to provide for my family.  I try to be strong.
You're already with your secret lover here, I am only here inspecting these barrels of wine! I love my wife and would never betray her!  Oh, excuse me. I can't believe you over heard that. I'm so embarrassed. I won't speak of this if you won't.  My wife thinks I've stopped drinking but after I lost my trusted and loyal horse today, I need a drink. That is so sad. How did he die? Have a glass of wine. I suggest this one. It is quite strong. He died in his sleep, of old age... Yes, thank you, wine has always been my drink of choice.  I knew if I went to the local pub that I would be found out.  I don't anyone will notice if we tap into the barrels. I already have tapped into this one about a month ago. I will hide the barrel when it is empty. I do not expect them to come in here for another three months. At least your horse had a long full life full of adventure, Yes? So, they do not frequent this area often to inspect?  This must be why you meet your secret lover here! Oh, and yes... My trusted horse has been by my side for many years and we have gone on many adventures together. We practically live in here! I know you will miss him but think of the rich life you have given him. I happen to have a horse who is in need of an owner. I could not think of replacing my trusted steed so soon but I will need to one day. I need another drink, can I get one more for the road please? Yes, yes of coarse you may. Let me pour you another. I know you cannot replace your horse but I must get rid of this horse soon and you need a horse for many things. Don't take too long. I will keep you in mind when it is time to find another horse.  Won't you need a horse too.  You may need one if your spouse ever finds you here!  I am a horse breeder in town. I have many horses. And as far as my lazy no good husband. He has no money. The wealth comes from my side of the family so I will be fine.
