Act 5, Scene 3: A street leading to the Park

SCENE III. 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 band, away with her
    to the deanery, and dispatch it quickly. Go before
    into the Park: we two must go together.

DOCTOR CAIUS

    I know vat I have to do. Adieu.

MISTRESS PAGE

    Fare you well, sir.

    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.

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
