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): 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.

The hour draws on: to the oak, to the oak.
