If he is right, my mistake in neglecting her has been worse than I supposed. 'Then this is all the better! Do you remember saying you despaired of a Petruchio? 'It is on the Petruchio principle that he takes her, and avowedly. None but Katharina was ever so wooed or so won! 'That is very much to her honour. 'If she realizes his being in earnest.
And yet, sir, your manners are excellent. It was Petruchio who cried: What's this? Mutton? 'Tis burnt; and so is all the meat. Where is the rascal cook? Manners have improved. In pleasant contrast is your courteous note, signifying the excellence of my proffered pastry, your delight that you are allowed to sniff and your regret for lack of appetite and abdominal capacity.
This was enough for Petruchio, and privately desiring these people might be paid for their goods, and excuses made to them for the seemingly strange treatment he bestowed upon them, he with fierce words and furious gestures drove the tailor and the haberdasher out of the room; and then, turning to Katharine, he said: "Well, come, my Kate, we will go to your father's even in these mean garments we now wear."
A dramatick exhibition is a book recited with concomitants that encrease or diminish its effect. Familiar comedy is often more powerful on the theatre, than in the page; imperial tragedy is always less. The humour of Petruchio may be heightened by grimace; but what voice or what gesture can hope to add dignity or force to the soliloquy of Cato. A play read, affects the mind like a play acted.
Petruchio mounted his wife upon a miserable horse, lean and lank, which he had picked out for the purpose, and himself and his servant no better mounted, they journeyed on through rough and miry ways, and ever when this horse of Katherine's stumbled, he would storm and swear at the poor jaded beast, who could scarce crawl under his burthen, as if he had been the most passionate man alive.
"See here, Ralph," bantered Pete, "I've copped Brick-top for myself. You keep off the grass. See!" "All right," Ralph answered. "Katherine for yours, Petruchio. The golden blonde for mine!" He smiled for the first time in days. In fact, at sight of the flying-girls he had begun to beam with fatuous good nature.
For really his ways were those of a modern Petruchio ways that no girl of any decent spirit could endure. Yet how frank and charming had been his talk as they rode into the wood! talk of his immediate plans, which he seemed to lay at her feet, asking for her sympathy and counsel; of his father and his two sisters; of the Hoopers even.
She would have loved to play Petruchio, though, on account of the boots and the slashing round the stage the way he does. But I think it's just as well, for Katherine certainly slashes, too and Rob's not quite tall enough for Petruchio." "I'm glad she plays Katherine," said Richard Kendrick decidedly. "I can't imagine your sister in boots!
Petruchio took little notice of their jokes till the ladies were retired after dinner, and then he perceived Baptista himself joined in the laugh against him, for when Petruchio affirmed that his wife would prove more obedient than theirs, the father of Katharine said, "Now, in good sadness, son Petruchio, I fear you have got the veriest shrew of all."
Happy are the parents of so fair a child. 'Why, how now, Kate, said Petruchio; 'I hope you are not mad. This is a man, old and wrinkled, faded and withered, and not a maiden, as you say he is. On this Katharine said: 'Pardon me, old gentleman; the sun has so dazzled my eyes, that everything I look on seemeth green.
