The Imperfect Gentleman

For the quest: The Imperfect Gentleman: Speak with Hildibrand and have him accompany you.

The first line Hildibrand says has a typo in it.
I espy with my little eye...

I believe it was meant to be:
I spy with my little eye..

Espy is an actual word, and it means to spot something.

It's always a good idea to look up the word you want to correct before trying to correct it.

Merriam-Webster: Espy

The localizers of this game often purposely choose words that make the game sound old timey.

Yeah, as a general rule, try googling a word if it seems to be wrong, chances are it's correct since they use lots of antiquated words and spellings for flavor. There are occasional typos, but most of the time it's intended.
