ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS I am not furnish'd with the present money;
Besides, I have some business in the town.
Good signior, take the stranger to my house
And with you take the chain and bid my wife
Disburse the sum on the receipt thereof:
Perchance I will be there as soon as you.
ANGELO Then you will bring the chain to her yourself?
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS No; bear it with you, lest I come not time enough.
ANGELO Well, sir, I will. Have you the chain about you?
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS An if I have not, sir, I hope you have;
Or else you may return without your money.
ANGELO Nay, come, I pray you, sir, give me the chain:
Both wind and tide stays for this gentleman,
And I, to blame, have held him here too long.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Good Lord! you use this dalliance to excuse
Your breach of promise to the Porpentine.
I should have chid you for not bringing it,
But, like a shrew, you first begin to brawl.
Second Merchant The hour steals on; I pray you, sir, dispatch.
ANGELO You hear how he importunes me;--the chain!
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Why, give it to my wife and fetch your money.
ANGELO Come, come, you know I gave it you even now.
Either send the chain or send me by some token.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Fie, now you run this humour out of breath,
where's the chain? I pray you, let me see it.
