‘With a trunk sleeve.’

GRUMIO

I confess two sleeves.

T AILOR

‘The sleeves curiously cut.’

PET RUCHIO

Ay, there’s the villainy. [140]

GRUMIO

Error i’ bill, sir, error i’ th’ bill! I commanded the sleeves should be cut out,
and sewed up again; and that I’ll prove upon thee, though thy little finger
be armed in a thimble.

T AILOR

This is true that I say; and I had thee in place [145] where, thou shouldst
know it.

GRUMIO

I am for thee straight. Take thou the bill, give me thy mete-yard, and
spare not me.

HORT ENSIO

God-a-mercy, Grumio, then he shall have no odds. [150]

PET RUCHIO

Well sir, in brief, the gown is not for me.

GRUMIO

You are i’ th’ right, sir, ’tis for my mistress.

PET RUCHIO

Go, take it up unto thy master’s use.

GRUMIO

Villain, not for thy life! Take up my mistress’ gown for thy master’s use!
