[0000] You couldn't get the minstrel.
[0001] That could get you in more trouble than it's worth!
[0002] You're not close enough.
[0003] You hand the Shakespeare book to the minstrel. Curiously, he opens it and begins to read aloud; first hesitantly, then with increased forcefulness as he begins to get into it.
[0004] Suddenly, he stops and looks at you. "This is wonderful!" he exclaims. "This gives me a new lease on life! No longer am I a mere minstrel...now I will become a famous ACTOR! `TO BE OR NOT TO BE.' How's that?" He then gives you his lute, bids you farewell, and wanders off to stardom.
[0005] The minstrel looks at your offering with mild interest, but politely declines.
[0006] You are not a thief, Rosella!
[0007] Well, it looks like our minstrel has turned into a Thespian. He seems much happier now.
[0008] I don't see him here.
[0009] You see a rather jaunty-looking fellow who appears to be a wandering minstrel. He seems to be a lute player.
[0010] You say hello to the minstrel who looks at you in surprise. "Well, well. Who do we have here?" he asks. You introduce yourself as Rosella. "Hello, Rosella," the minstrel says. "Let me play for you one of my favorite tunes," and he begins to play an old ballad.
[0011] Unfortunately, it appears that his musical skills are quite limited, as he plunks and pings his way through an otherwise, beautiful song.
[0012] You unthinkingly speak to the minstrel again, who immediately begins playing another bad rendition of a favorite "oldie, but goodie."
[0013] The minstrel seems quite pleased that you appreciate his music so much. He obviously loves the attention as he goes into an out-of-tune version of "Greensleeves."
[0014] You can't get enough, can you, Rosella? This guy obviously loves an audience as he takes you through another "popular ballad."
[0015] You say good-bye to the ex-minstrel, but he doesn't respond as he's too engrossed in his Shakespearean soliloquy. 
[0016] The minstrel is not going to give you his sole means of livelihood!
[0017] You already have it.
[0018] Your lilting voice contrasts terribly with the bad lute playing of the minstrel.
