Enter MISTRESS PAGE, MISTRESS FORD, and DOCTOR CAIUSMISTRESS PAGE
Master doctor, my daughter is in green: when youDOCTOR CAIUS
see your time, take her by the band, away with her
to the deanery, and dispatch it quickly. Go before
into the Park: we two must go together.
I know vat I have to do. Adieu.MISTRESS PAGE
Fare you well, sir.MISTRESS FORD
Exit DOCTOR CAIUS
My husband will not rejoice so much at the abuse of
Falstaff as he will chafe at the doctor's marrying
my daughter: but 'tis no matter; better a little
chiding than a great deal of heart-break.
Where is Nan now and her troop of fairies, and theMISTRESS PAGE
Welsh devil Hugh?
They are all couched in a pit hard by Herne's oak,MISTRESS FORD
with obscured lights; which, at the very instant of
Falstaff's and our meeting, they will at once
display to the night.
That cannot choose but amaze him.MISTRESS PAGE
If he be not amazed, he will be mocked; if he beMISTRESS FORD
amazed, he will every way be mocked.
We'll betray him finely.MISTRESS PAGE
Against such lewdsters and their lecheryMISTRESS FORD
Those that betray them do no treachery.
The hour draws on. To the oak, to the oak!
