Enter MISTRESS PAGE, MISTRESS FORD, and DR. CAIUS. |
Mrs. Page. Master Doctor, my daughter is in green: when you see your time, take her by the hand, away with her to the deanery, and dispatch it quickly. Go before into the Park: we two must go together. |
Caius. I know vat I have to do. Adieu. |
Mrs. Page. Fare you well, sir. [Exit 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. |
Mrs. Ford. Where is Nan now and her troop of fairies, and the Welsh devil, Hugh? |
Mrs. Page. They are all couched in a pit hard by Herne's oak, with obscured lights; which, at the very instant of Falstaff's and our meeting, they will at once display to the night. |
Mrs. Ford. That cannot choose but amaze him. |
Mrs. Page. If he be not amazed, he will be mocked; if he be amazed, he will every way be mocked. |
Mrs. Ford. We'll betray him finely. |
Mrs. Page. Against such lewdsters and their lechery, |
Those that betray them do no treachery. |
Mrs. Ford. The hour draws on: to the oak, to the oak! [Exeunt. |
