GILES. I shall blow three times, and loudly from my whistle, here.

JOHN. And be we to come up to the farm when we hears you?

GILES. As quickly as you can run. 'Twill be the sign that I need
all of you with me.

GEORGE and JOHN. That's it, master. Us do understand what 'tis as
we have got to do.

OLD MAR. Ah, 'tis best to be finished with hearts that beat to the
tune of a maid's tongue, and to creep quiet along the roads with
naught but them pains as hunger and thirst do bring to th' inside.
So 'tis.

[Curtain.]



ACT III.--Scene 1.



The parlour at Camel Farm. ELIZABETH, in her best dress, is moving
about the room putting chairs in their places and arranging ornaments
on the dresser, etc. MAY stands at the door with a large bunch of
flowers in her hands.

ELIZABETH. And what do you want to run about in the garden for when
I've just smoothed your hair and got you all ready to go to church?
