A Street leading to the Park.
 Enter MISTRESS PAGE, MISTRESS FORD, and DOCTOR CAIUS.

Mistress 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.

Mistress 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 heartbreak.

Mistress Ford	Where is Nan now, and her troop of fairies? And the Welsh 
	devil Hugh?

Mistress 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.

Mistress Ford	That cannot choose but amaze him.

Mistress Page	If he be not amazed, he will be mocked; if he be amazed, 
	he will every way be mocked.

Mistress Ford	We'll betray him finely.

Mistress Page	Against such lewdsters and their lechery,
	Those that betray them do no treachery.

Mistress Ford	The hour draws on. To the oak, to the oak!
												[Exeunt.
