PET RUCHIO
Conceives by me! How likes Hortensio that?
HORT ENSIO
My widow says thus she conceives her tale.
PET RUCHIO
Very well mended. Kiss him for that, good widow. [25]
KAT HERINA
‘He that is giddy thinks the world turns round’ -
I pray you tell me what you meant by that.
WIDOW
Your husband, being troubled with a shrew,
Measures my husband’s sorrow by his woe.
And now you know my meaning. [30]
KAT HERINA
A very mean meaning.
WIDOW
Right, I mean you.
KAT HERINA
And I am mean, indeed, respecting you.
PET RUCHIO
To her, Kate!
HORT ENSIO
To her, widow!
PET RUCHIO
A hundred marks, my Kate does put her down. [35]
HORT ENSIO
That’s my office.
