 SIR TOBY BELCH
65 And cross-gartered?
SIR TOBY BELCH
With crisscrossed laces?
 MARIA
  Most villanously, like a pedant that keeps a school i' the
  church. I have dogged him, like his murderer. He does obey
  every point of the letter that I dropped to betray him. He
  does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map
70 with the augmentation of the Indies. You have not seen such
  a thing as 'tis. I can hardly forbear hurling things at him. I
  know my lady will strike him. If she do, he'll smile and take
  't for a great favor.
MARIA
Oh, he looks like a pathetic Sunday school teacher. I've stalked him like a murderer, and he's done everything the letter told him to. He smiles so much his face has more lines in it than a map of the East Indies. You've never seen anything like it. I can hardly keep myself from throwing things at him. I know that my lady's going to end up hitting him. And when she does, he'll imagine she's flirting with him.
 SIR TOBY BELCH
  Come, bring us, bring us where he is.
SIR TOBY BELCH
Come on, take us to him.
Exeunt
They all exit.
