On the morrow following, about the houre of dinner time, the foure brethren of _Thebaldo_, attired in their mourning garments, with their wives and friends, came first to the house of _Aldobrandino_, who purposely attended for them, and having layd downe their weapons on the ground: in the presence of all such, as _Aldobrandino_ had invited as his witnesses, they offered themselves to his mercy, and humbly required pardon of him, for the matter wherein they had offended him. _Aldobrandino_, shedding teares, most lovingly embraced them, and (to bee briefe) pardon whatsoever injuries he had received. After this, the sisters and wives, all clad in mourning, courteously submitted themselves, and were graciously welcommed by Madame _Hermelina_, as also divers other Gentlewomen there present with her. Being all seated at the Tables, which were furnished with such rarities as could be wished for; all things elsee deserved their due commendation, but onely sad silence, occasioned by the fresh remembrance of sorrow, appearing in the habites of _Thebaldoes_ friends and kindred, which the Pilgrime himselfe plainely perceived, to be the onely disgrace to him and his feast. Wherefore, as before hee had resolved, when time served to purge away this melancholly; hee arose from the Table, when some (as yet) had scarce begun to eate, and thus spake. Gracious company, there is no defect in this Banquet, or more debarres it of the honour it might elsee have, but onely the presence of _Thebaldo_, who having beene continually in your company, it seemes you are not willing to take knowledge of him, and therefore I meane my selfe to shew him. So, uncasing himselfe out of his Pilgrimes clothes, and standing in his Hose and Doublet: to their no little admiration, they all knew him, yet doubted (a good while) whether it were he or no. Which hee perceiving, hee repeated his bretherens and absent kindreds names, and what occurrences had happened betweene them from time to time, beside the relation of his owne passed fortunes, inciting teares in the eyes of his brethren, and all elsee there present, every one hugging and embracing him, yea, many beside, who were no kin at all to him, _Hermelina_ onely excepted, which when _Aldobrandino_ saw, he said unto her. How now _Hermelina_? Why doest thou not welcome home _Thebaldo_, so kindely as all here elsee have done?
