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.

SIR HUGH EVANS

Get going now. Ask someone how to get to Doctor Caius's house. A woman named Mistress Quickly lives there, who is kind of his house-keeper, or his cook, or his laundry-maid.

SIMPLE

Well, sir.

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 tocome.

SIR HUGH EVANS

No, this is a better idea. Give her this letter, since she is someone who knows Mistress Anne Page well. The letter asks her to persuade Mistress Anne Page to marry your master. Please, get going. I will finish my dinner—there will be apples and cheese later on.
