Quickly's Lies
Quickly: Troth sir, all is in His hands above. But nothing with standing, Master Fenton, I'll be sworn on a book she loves you. Have not your worship a wart above your eye?
..........
Quickly: Farewell to your worship [Exit Fenton] Truly an honest gentleman. But Anne loves him not, for I know Anne's mind as well as another does. Out upon't, what have I forgot? (Shakespear 24)
Quickly is beginning to make a mess of everything. She not only has promised three men that she will set them up with Anne Page, but she has helped to start a conflict between her master and Evans. If she is a friend to Anne, why would she start causing all this trouble around her? Why would she tell these men that Anne loves them and that Anne will be theirs if she knows Anne doesn't love them? Is she trying to cause trouble for Anne or for the men? I see this as the beginning of a disaster, especially after reading about Quickly's not-so-kind master. Quickly has already created a battle between two of the men, what happens when the third gets involved? And what if there are more to come?
