|
|
24 |
Ford. Were they his men? Page. Marry, were they. |

Sir Hugh Evans. Got's will, and his passion of my heart! I had as
Page. Why? |
|
40 |
Sir Hugh Evans. He has no more knowledge in Hibocrates and Galen,

Page. Let's obey his humour a little further: come,
|
|
56 |
Sir Hugh Evans. 'Tis one of the best discretions of a 'oman as ever
Page. And did he send you both these letters at an instant? |
|
57 |
Ford. Pardon me, wife. Henceforth do what thou wilt;
Page. 'Tis well, 'tis well; no more:
|
|
58 |
Ford. There is no better way than that they spoke of. Page. How? to send him word they'll meet him in the park
|
|
59 |
Sir Hugh Evans. You say he has been thrown in the rivers and has
Page. So think I too. |
|
60 |
Mistress Page. There is an old tale goes that Herne the hunter,
Page. Why, yet there want not many that do fear
|
|
61 |
Mistress Ford. Marry, this is our device;
Page. Well, let it not be doubted but he'll come:
|
|
62 |
Mistress Page. My Nan shall be the queen of all the fairies,
Page. That silk will I go buy.
|
|
63 |
(stage directions). [Enter PAGE, SHALLOW, and SLENDER] Page. Come, come; we'll couch i' the castle-ditch till we

Slender. Dispatched! I'll make the best in Gloucestershire
Page. Of what, son? |
|
71 |
Slender. I came yonder at Eton to marry Mistress Anne Page,
Page. Upon my life, then, you took the wrong. |
|
72 |
Slender. What need you tell me that? I think so, when I took
Page. Why, this is your own folly. Did not I tell you how
|
|
73 |
Ford. This is strange. Who hath got the right Anne? Page. My heart misgives me: here comes Master Fenton.
|
|
74 |
Anne Page. Pardon, good father! good my mother, pardon! Page. Now, mistress, how chance you went not with Master Slender? |
|
75 |
Falstaff. I am glad, though you have ta'en a special stand to
Page. Well, what remedy? Fenton, heaven give thee joy!
