What does “ごゆるりと” mean?
Apparently it's a somewhat old-fashioned way of saying "relax/take it
easy/etc". A more modern equivalent would be ごゆっくり.

answer
“まあ” is an interjection, implying “Well, Please.”

“ごゆるりと” is a polite, but a bit oldish expression for “ゆっくりと – slowly,” meaning
“Take as much time as you wish,” hence “relax,” “take it easy,” “behave as
freely as you can.”

“ごゆるりと” can be used in such a way as:

>   * “どうぞ、ごゆるりとお過ごしください” – Please take it easy (Make yourself at home, or
> Stay here as long as you like)
>
>   * "ごゆるりとお行き遊ばせ - Please go slowly,”
>
>

either in an elegant, but antiquated way.
