Mrs. Page.
Whither go you, George? hark you.
Mrs. Ford.
How now, sweet Frank, why art thou melancholly?
Ford.
I melancholy! I am not melancholy. Get you home, go.
Mrs. Ford.
Faith thou hast some crotchets in thy head. Now
will you go, mistress Page?
Mrs. Page.
Have with you. You'll come to dinner, George?
Look who comes yonder; she shall be our messenger to this
paultry Knight.
Enter Mistress Quickly.
Mrs. Ford.
Trust me, I thought on her, she'll fit it.
Mrs. Page.
You are come to see my daughter Anne?

Ay, forsooth; and I pray how does good mistress Anne?
Mrs. Page.
Go in with us and see; we have an hour's talk
with you.
