I am a merchant traveling with a group of mercenaries and other merchants for protection. We are traveling to the East to trade spices. I am very nervous about being ambushed by bandits.
Hello. I am traveling with the mercenaries speaking with your master. I do not know what they are speaking of. I am weary. I have only a mean bed in the kitchen to call my own, but you may rest there for an hour  No, I shall be fine. Are there bandits in these here parts? Nay good Sir! Our defences are of the utmost. No bandit would dare show his face in these parts  That is great. We are traveling to the East and I'm so scared of being ambushed by them.  Ah, I know little of the lands to the East of here. I was born here and here I will die  I am sorry. At least you seem to be well taken care of here. I will always be a traveling merchant.  True I am clean and fed, but I have nothing to my name and I will work till I drop  Would you like to have a book? I have some I have gotten on my travels. Nothing fancy, but it can be yours. A book! I have never had such a thing, Good Sir. Of course, I cannot read, but I would do much to own a book of my own! Ah great. Maybe the masters daughter can help you read? I am so happy you'll take the book. It weighs me down. I would never dare talk with the Master's daughter! They would whip me
