Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

The troop is past. Come pilgrim, I will bring you

Where you shall host: of enjoin’d pentinents

There’s four or five, to Great Saint Jaques bound,

Already at my house.

 

Widow

All’s Well That Ends Well        Act III, Scene v, Line 92

 

The widow is speaking to Helen who is pretending to be a pilgrim of St Jaques. That’s right, Helen is pretending to be a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago; though, she’s in Florence, so she’s not on the main Spanish portion of the Camino. Nonetheless, hundreds of years ago (and maybe even still?) the pilgrims of St. James (Santiago in Spanish, and Jaques in French) began their pilgrimages from all over Europe.

So yes, today Will is talking about the Camino de Santiago. What do you think of that?

No Mojo, I'm pretty sure they don't have spa days on the Camino de Santiago.
