Notes

They are surely not from Windsor; and they are merry because their mena are off "flutherin' with some old tunes," while they have the kitchen to themselves. They have some work of their own to do, and no one will escape them in the end. When the gossiping wives make merry, there's hell to pay in every quarter.
