Go to, go to; no matter for the dish, sir.
CLOWN. No, indeed, sir, not of a pin; you are therein in the right; but to the point. As I say, this Mistress Elbow, being, as I say, with child, and being great-bellied, and longing, as I said, for prunes; and having but two in the dish, as I said, Master Froth here, this very man, having eaten the rest, as I said, and, as I say, paying for them very honestly;--for, as you know, Master Froth, I could not give you threepence again,-- FROTH. No, indeed. CLOWN. Very well; you being then, if you be remember'd, cracking the stones of the foresaid prunes,-- FROTH. Ay, so I did indeed. CLOWN. Why, very well: I telling you then, if you be remember'd, that such a one and such a one were past cure of the thing you wot of, unless they kept very good diet, as I told you,-- FROTH. All this is true. CLOWN. |
