[Enter Oliver and Ralph, two servingmen.]
OLIVER. Sirrah Ralph, my young Mistress is in such a pitiful passionate humor for the long absence of her love—
RALPH. Why, can you blame her? why, apples hanging longer on the tree then when they are ripe makes so many fallings; viz., Mad wenches, because they are not gathered in time, are fain to drop of them selves, and then tis Common you know for every man to take em up.
OLIVER. Mass, thou sayest true, Tis common indeed: but, sirrah, is neither our young master returned, nor our fellow Sam come from London?
RALPH. Neither of either, as the Puritan bawd says. Slidd, I hear Sam: Sam’s come, her’s! Tarry! come, yfaith, now my nose itches for news.
Arthur Conan Doyle
