PETRUCHIO  
O, ho! entreat her!  
Nay, then she must needs come.  
HORTENSIO  
I am afraid, sir,  
Do what you can, yours will not be entreated.  
Re-enter BIONDELLO  
Now, where's my wife?  
BIONDELLO  
She says you have some goodly jest in hand:  
She will not come: she bids you come to her.  
PETRUCHIO  
Worse and worse; she will not come! O vile,  
Intolerable, not to be endured!  
Sirrah Grumio, go to your mistress;  
Say, I command her to come to me.  
Exit GRUMIO  
HORTENSIO  
I know her answer.  
PETRUCHIO  
What?  
HORTENSIO  
She will not.  
PETRUCHIO  
The fouler fortune mine, and there an end.  
BAPTISTA  
Now, by my holidame, here comes Katharina!  
Re-enter KATARINA  
KATHARINA  
What is your will, sir, that you send for me?  
PETRUCHIO  
Where is your sister, and Hortensio's wife?  
KATHARINA  
They sit conferring by the parlor fire.  
PETRUCHIO  
Go fetch them hither: if they deny to come.  
Swinge me them soundly forth unto their husbands:  
Away, I say, and bring them hither straight.  
Exit KATHARINA  
LUCENTIO  
Here is a wonder, if you talk of a wonder.
