	MARIA Nay, but say true, does it work upon him?	MARIA Did it really work?
180	SIR TOBY BELCH Like aqua vitae with a midwife.	SIR TOBY BELCH Like medicine for a sick man.
185	MARIA If you will then see the fruits of the sport, mark his first approach before my lady. He will come to her in yellow stockings, and ’tis a color she abhors, and cross-gartered, a fashion she detests. And he will smile upon her, which will now be so unsuitable to her disposition, being addicted to a melancholy as she is, that it cannot but turn him into a notable contempt. If you will see it, follow me.	MARIA If you want to really have some fun, watch him next time he’s near Lady Olivia. He’ll show up in yellow stockings—she hates yellow—and with laces crisscrossing up his legs—she hates that style of dress—and he’ll smile, which will go completely against her mood, since she’s addicted to sadness now. She’ll definitely get upset with him. If you want to watch, follow me.
	SIR TOBY BELCH To the gates of Tartar, thou most excellent devil of wit!	SIR TOBY BELCH I’d follow you to the gates of Hell, you sneaky little devil!
	SIR ANDREW I’ll make one too.	SIR ANDREW I’ll come too.
	Exeunt	They all exit.
