SCENE IV. A room in Doctor Caius’s house
Enter Mistress Quickly and Simple.
MISTRESS QUICKLY.
What, John Rugby!
Enter Rugby.
I pray thee go to the casement, and see if you can see my master, Master Doctor Caius, coming. If he do, i’ faith, and find anybody in the house, here will be an old abusing of God’s patience and the King’s English.
RUGBY.
I’ll go watch.
MISTRESS QUICKLY.
Go; and we’ll have a posset for’t soon at night, in faith, at the latter end of a sea-coal fire.
[Exit Rugby.]
An honest, willing, kind fellow, as ever servant shall come in house withal; and, I warrant you, no tell-tale nor no breed-bate. His worst fault is that he is given to prayer; he is something peevish that way, but nobody but has his fault. But let that pass. Peter Simple you say your name is?
SIMPLE.
Ay, for fault of a better.
