Diana and Garcia enter.

Diana: Hold, take these keys, and fetch more spices, Garcia.

Garcia: They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.

Gideon enters the room.

Gideon: Come, stir, stir, stir! the second cock hath crow'd,
The curfew-bell hath rung, 'tis three o'clock:
Look to the baked meats, good Angelica:
Spare not for the cost.

Garcia: Go, you cot-quean, go,
Get you to bed; faith, You'll be sick to-morrow
For this night's watching.

Gideon: No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now
All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.

Diana: Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time;
But I will watch you from such watching now.

Diana and Garcia leave the room now.

Gideon: A jealous hood, a jealous hood!

Kate runs in with the things Gideon calls for.

Gideon: Now, fellow,
What's there?

Kate: Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what.

Gideon: Make haste, make haste.
Fetch drier logs:
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.

Kate: I have a head, sir, that will find out logs,
And never trouble Peter for the matter.

Kate then leaves the room.

Gideon: Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha!
Thou shalt be logger-head. Good faith, 'tis day:
The county will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would: I hear him near.
Garcia! Wife! What, ho! What, Garcia, I say!

Garcia comes hobbling in.

Gideon: Go waken Reid, go and trim him up;
I'll go and chat with Hotch: hie, make haste,
Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already:
Make haste, I say.

Garcia hobbles off to go and wake Reid.
