What should this be?

 

-Sir John Falstaff

The Merry Wives of Windsor          Act V Scene v, Line 33

 

Well, I don’t have a heck of a lot to say about this line. They hear a noise, and Mistress Page says Alas, what noise?; Mistress Ford says, Heaven forgive our sins; Falstaff says What should this be?; the ladies yell Away, away!, and they all exit. And that’s that.

I think it would be only fair for us as the readers to say, What should this be?

 

What should this be? 
It's a golf course, knucklehead.

"Heaven forgive our sins"? Does he think the noise is the devil coming to take him away...??
