A vintner is in arrears with his loan payments and the landowner demands payment not just of the interest, but of the principle. He says that will be impossible and pleads for more time. The landowner replies that he may be persuaded to grant an extension if he would be allowed to spend time with his beautiful wife. The vintner is irate and refuses, but when he tells his wife, she takes the initiative and sleeps with the landowner to achieve some leeway in repayment of the loan. The landowner’s daughter sees the two together and her penchant for gossip leads the vintner to fear for his reputation. He is now irate at his wife, his landlord, and the landlord’s daughter.

Great episode.
