Enter the COTTAGER and his WIFE.

WIFE. Yes, yes, here I am.

ANHALT. Good people, I will take your guest with me. You have acted
an honest part, and therefore receive this reward for your trouble.
[He offers the purse to the Cottager, who puts it by, and turns away].

ANHALT [to the Wife]. Do _you_ take it.

WIFE. I always obey my pastor. [taking it].

AGATHA. Good bye. [shaking hands with the Cottagers.] For your
hospitality to me, may ye enjoy continued happiness.

COTTAGER. Fare you well--fare you well.

WIFE. If you find friends and get health, we won't trouble you to call
on us again: but if you should fall sick or be in poverty, we shall
take very unkind if we don't see you.

[Exeunt Agatha and Anhalt on one side,
Cottager and his Wife on the other].
