85 That Slender, though well landed, is an idiot;
And [he] my husband best of all affects.
The doctor is well money’d, and his friends
Potent at court: he, none but he, shall have her,
Though twenty thousand worthier come to crave her. Exit.
[ IV. 5 Scene V.] A room in the Garter Inn.
Enter Host and Simple.
Host. What wouldst thou have, boor? what, thick-skin? speak, breathe, discuss; brief, short, quick, [snap].
Sim. Marry, sir, I come to speak with Sir John Falstaff from Master Slender.
5 Host. There’s his chamber, his house, his castle, his standing-bed, and truckle-bed; ’tis painted about with the story of the Prodigal, fresh and new. Go knock and call; he’ll speak like an Anthropophaginian unto thee: knock, I say.
