Two people shorten the road

“If I ever reject the opportunity to promenading with a charming and a beautiful lady through the streets, please murder me because clearly I am suffering from some sort of incurable ailment” he said with a jokingly serious tone before offering the arm to the woman “Towards promenading we go!

Maybe he was overdoing it but who was better at overdoing it than a minstrel?
