Probably, "I'm just glad they came to church."

Alan, someone else on some other thread posted a similar response to yours but leaves less room for interpretation: "A lady doesn't ask, and a wench already knows." If the young lass is not offended by that, she's probably wondering, "Huh? What's a wench?" One hopes either way she will be too stunned to do anything else.

However it was handled, contrarily, her insolence during this scene leaves one apoplectic.
