The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle Volume 1 Chapter 65

In which our travellers make a tour through the Dutch cities, witnessing their quaint theatres, amusing local antics, and the peculiarities of public entertainments, including a most singular Dutch tragedy and a lively dispute in a music-house. Amid these diversions, Peregrine’s spirited nature leads him into an affront with a naval captain and a subsequent narrow escape, concluding with their safe passage homeward after cordial encounters and learned debates.
