Before many daies were past, it was his fortune to meete with _Blondello_, who having told this jest to divers of his friends, and much good merriment made thereat: he saluted _Guiotto_ in ceremonious manner, saying. How didst thou like the fat Lampreyes and Sturgeon, which thou fedst on at the house of _Messer Corso Donati_? Wel Sir (answered _Guiotto_) perhaps before eight dayes passe over my head, thou shalt meet with as pleasing a dinner as I did. So, parting away from _Blondello_, he met with a Porter or burthen-bearer, such as are usually sent on errands; and hyring him to deliver a message for him, gave him a glasse bottle, and bringing him neere to the Hal-house of _Cavicciuli_, shewed him there a knight, called _Signior Phillippo Argenti_, a man of huge stature, stout, strong, vainglorious, fierce and sooner mooved to anger then any other man. To him (quoth _Guiotto_) thou must go with this bottle in thy hand, and say thus to him. Sir, _Blondello_ sent me to you, and courteously entreateth you, that you would enrubinate this glasse bottle with your best Claret Wine; because he would make merry with a few friends of his. But beware he lay no hand on thee, because he may bee easily induced to misuse thee, and so my businesse be disappointed. Well Sir replied the Porter, shall I say any thing else unto him? No (quoth _Guiotto_) only go and deliver this message, and when thou art returned, Ile pay thee for thy paines. The Porter being gone to the house, delivered his message to the knight, who being a man of no great civill breeding, but furious, rash, and inconsiderate: presently conceived, that _Blondello_ (whom he knew well enough) sent this message in meere mockage of him, and starting up with fiery lookes, said: What enrubination of Claret should I send him? and what have I to do with him, or his drunken friends? Let him and thee go hang your selves together. So he stept to catch hold on the Porter, but he (being well warnd before) was quicke and nimble, and escaping from him, returned backe to _Guiotto_ (who observed all) and told him the answer of Signior _Phillippo. Guiotto_ not a little contented, paied the Porter, and taried not in any place till he met with _Blondello_, to whom he said. When wast thou at the Hall of _Cavicciuli_? Not a long while, answerd _Blondello_, but why dost thou demand such a question? Because (quoth _Guiotto_) Signior _Phillippo_ hath sought about for thee, yet knowe not I what he would have with thee. Is it so? replied _Blondello_, then I will walke thither presently, to understand his pleasure.
