William Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor

ACT I.
SCENE 2. The same.

[Enter SIR HUGH EVANS and SIMPLE.]

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.

EVANS.
Nay, it is better yet. Give her this letter; for it is a
'oman 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.]
