Dined at home! Thou villain, what sayest thou?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF EPHESUS  
Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
Perdie, your doors were lock'd and you shut out.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF EPHESUS  
And did not she herself revile me there?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
Sans fable, she herself reviled you there.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF EPHESUS  
Did not her kitchen-maid rail, taunt, and scorn me?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
Certes, she did; the kitchen-vestal scorn'd you.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF EPHESUS  
And did not I in rage depart from thence?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
In verity you did; my bones bear witness,  
That since have felt the vigour of his rage.  
ADRIANA  
Is't good to soothe him in these contraries?  
PINCH  
It is no shame: the fellow finds his vein,  
And yielding to him humours well his frenzy.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF EPHESUS  
Thou hast suborn'd the goldsmith to arrest me.  
ADRIANA  
Alas, I sent you money to redeem you,  
By Dromio here, who came in haste for it.  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
Money by me! heart and goodwill you might;  
But surely master, not a rag of money.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF EPHESUS  
Went'st not thou to her for a purse of ducats?  
ADRIANA  
He came to me and I deliver'd it.  
LUCIANA  
And I am witness with her that she did.  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
God and the rope-maker bear me witness  
That I was sent for nothing but a rope!  
PINCH
