Pupil.—I still eat flesh-meat, because I am a child living under the rod.
Master.—What more do you eat?
Pupil.—Vegetables, and eggs, fish, and cheese, butter, and beans, and all clean things I eat, with great thankfulness.
Master.—Surely you are gluttonous, since you eat everything that is put before you.
Pupil.—I am not so greedy as to be able to eat all kinds of food at one meal.
Master.—How then?
Pupil.—Sometimes I eat some kinds of food, sometimes others, in moderation, as a monk should do, without greediness, because I am not a glutton.
Master.—And what do you drink?
Pupil.—Ale, if I have it, or water, if I have no ale.
Master.—Don’t you drink wine?
