Day nine, without any specific theme, begins with a story (9.1) about a lady who saw off two unwanted lovers by giving them some highly unpalatable tasks. After skipping 9.2, we resume with a tale (9.3) of a nun who was caught with a lover, then got out of trouble by providing evidence that the abbess had a lover of her own. Finally, in story 9.4, we hear of a man who gambled away his friend's money, then managed to get hold of his clothes and horse as well.

CONTENT WARNINGS: In the first story, two men continue to pester a woman verbally and in writing after she's made it clear she doesn't want their attention. Also graverobbing. In the third story, betrayal of a friend, minimisation of his distress, use of false testimony to get him forcefully unhorsed and robbed.
