the sitting room has a goat's skin as a sitting place in front of the cottage's fireplace that is just a fire burning in a pit. It is incredibly small

I am provided a special place to sleep. I may be tired after my travels. I am furnished with warm hospitality and a good meal.
Ahh a warm fire after traveling in this rain all day. Doesn't get any better than this. Nope, a plate of food, a blanket.  Have you heard of the road ahead?  Any talk of Bandits? Not as of late. But when I came through here a few months back it was thick with them. The king had to send down a whole regiment to clean em out. Well that makes me feel a little better.  I know they are bad in the East, but that's the only place we can get the spices of value. I've got to try some of this roast goat. Last time I was here it was amazing. I'm in too.  I think I'll make myself at home and relax a while before we journey on. You in a hurry to get on the road again. Seems like traders are often that way. Well time is money, but roast goat is worth sticking around for.  What brings you to this cottage? I'm travelling back home to see the wife and kids. Been working out West. I'm sure they will be glad to see you.  How long have you been gone? About four months or so. It's amazing how much the little ones change in a short time. I hope you have a better wife than I do.  Mine could not wait the long months I was away.  She had taken up with my brother when I got back home.  I guess I can't blame her.  It's a lonely life being a wife of a traveling merchant.
