The Merry Wives of Windsor

Act I, Scene 2

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 woman 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]
