Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Altogether innocent of Pandarus’ intentions, Criseyde then said: ‘Let’s go, dear uncle.’ And she went to go in, arm in arm with him, having carefully considered her words and her manner. And Pandarus said very earnestly: ‘For the love of God, I beg you all to stay right here and amuse yourselves quietly!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): パンダルスの意図をまったく知らずに、その時クリセイデは「参りましょう、叔父様」と言って、言葉遣いと態度についてよく考えながら、パンダルスと腕を組んで中に入った。そしてパンダルスは、真面目な態度になって、言った。「お付きの皆さん、お願いだから、どうか、ここに居てください。くつろぎが嵩じて騒がないようにね。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 克丽西德满不知道彭大瑞的用意，说道，“我们进去，好舅父；”挽着臂膀他俩走进去，心中盘算如何开口，如何举止；彭大瑞诚恳地说道，“请各位在这里多等一下，谈笑时请轻声些。

Comments from the Editor

The narrator here emphasises that Criseyde is altogether innocent of Pandarus’s intentions. However, nobody knows whether she is really innocent or not. As to this scene Chaucer added by Chaucer, see also my comment of ‘cler’ (adj., Tr3.129).
