The narrator describes the rest of his company in the prologue. He mentions a merchant that could handle any trade, and knew all the currency exchanges because of his extensive travels. There is a scholar who lives for the sole purpose of learning. He was a student at Oxford and seldom spoke unless to learn of something new. The next man was a sergeant-at-law that upheld justice wherever he went, and was said to have studied all the court cases since William the first. There was a franklin travelling with a freeman. He was known in the countryside as the patron saint of travellers for his hospitality by welcoming and holding a feast for all who came. The narrator then describes various middle, working class men that had respectable positions. He mentions a sea captain who knew every port from Holland to Northern Africa. There was a doctor that was 'skilled to pick out the astrologic moment for charms and talismans to aid the patient,' which obviously was impressive to the time period, but seems a tad phony to me. He describes a bussiness woman who had been married 5 times and was essentially a 'certified' mistress. He says that "she was 'gap-toothed,' if you take my meaning," but I  don't take his meaning at all.
