The Merry Wives of Windsor: Act 1 Scene 2

Scene II The same.

[Enter SIR HUGH EVANS and SIMPLE]

SIR HUGH EVANS

Go your ways, and ask of Doctor Caius' house which

is the way: and there dwells one Mistress Quickly,

which is in the manner of his nurse, or his dry

nurse, or his cook, or his laundry, his washer, and

his wringer.

SIMPLE

Well, sir.

SIR HUGH EVANS

Nay, it is petter yet. Give her this letter; for it

is a 'oman that altogether's acquaintance with

Mistress Anne Page: and the letter is, to desire

and require her to solicit your master's desires to

Mistress Anne Page. I pray you, be gone: I will

make an end of my dinner; there's pippins and cheese to come.

[Exeunt]
