Act 4 scene v is the masque of putative fathers that gives Whetstone his moment on revenge on the gentlemen. After an evening drinking together, he asks (he being a known bastard) if they would like to see their fathers, and in the masque-like series of entries that follows, a tailor, a schoolteacher, and Robin the servant are apparently revealed as the true fathers of these self-conscious gentlemen. Whetstone’s own father is also shown, and is at least proved to have been a gallant. The gentlemen find they have no power to retaliate for this humiliation. In a final dialogue section, Mistress Generous gets Mall to summon the sisterhood together, prior to another assault on the mill.
