Adrian. “I have slept well; did you sleep badly?”

Bailiff. “No, I shall make you tell.” One of the lords then asked me whether I had been rebaptized. I replied: “No, I was baptized aright once.”

Bailiff. “Who baptized you?”

I asked him whether he also wished to be baptized.

Bailiff. “Don’t be ashamed to tell; I will tell you, where and by whom I was baptized: here in St. Peter’s church.”

Adrian. “If you wish to be also baptized, I will tell you.”

Bailiff. “I have no desire for it as yet.”

Adrian. “Neither are you fit for it.”

Bailiff. “Where is the servant with the hat, that accompanied you?”

Adrian. “I know nothing of a servant with a hat.”
