ACT IV Scene 1. Sir Hugh hears young William Page’s lessons and Quickly comically misunderstands the Latin and grammar. Scene 2. Falstaff is with Mistress Ford when Mistress Page arrives announcing Ford's approach. They dress Falstaff in a gown belonging to "the fat woman of Brainford," not disclosing, however, that Ford loathes her and has threatened to beat her. Ford unpacks the laundry basket and, finding it empty of anything but linen, he turns upon the old woman (Falstaff), beating him out of the house. Scene 3. The Host resolves to get payment from some Germans who have taken over his inn for the past week. Scene 4. The Fords and Pages, with Sir Hugh, plot a final humiliation for Falstaff. The women will persuade him to a midnight tryst in Windsor Forest, telling him to go dressed as the mythical figure Herne the Hunter. Meanwhile, Sir Hugh and various children, attired as fairies, will appear and pinch Falstaff into a confession. Page intends this to be Slender's opportunity to elope with Anne, whilst his wife has similar ideas for Caius. Scene 5. The Host has been duped by the Germans who are known tricksters. Quickly brings a letter from Mistress Ford to a bruised and aggrieved Falstaff. Scene 6. Anne intends to elope with Fenton. The Host will organize a priest to marry them.
