It does my heart good to see you my friends!
Gather by the fire, sup, drink! It's a long night and we need some comfort against the dark.
I'll stand a round if any are embarrassed in the purse - Dame Fortune has smiled on me this week and a night passed in friendship cannot be measured against base coin. I'm no miser to eat the parings of the cheese when there are fresh rinds to cut!
Someone might want to stand the door though.
I hear there are canny folk abroad in these parts.
We want no burr to rankle the security of our soft companionship.
Hey, barmaid! Mead all round!
