P. 1107
POMPEY
Why, very well: I telling you then, if you be remembered, 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. [110]
POMPEY
Why, very well then −
ESCALUS
Come, you are a tedious fool. To the purpose: what was done to Elbow’s wife
he hath cause to complain of? Come me to what was done to her.
POMPEY
Sir, your honour cannot come to that yet. [115]
ESCALUS
No, sir, nor I mean it not.
POMPEY
Sir, but you shall come to it, by your honour’s leave. And I beseech you, look
into Master Froth here, sir; a man of fourscore pound a year; whose father
died at Hallowmas − was’t not at Hallowmas, Master Froth? [120]
FROTH
All-hallond Eve.
POMPEY
Why, very well: I hope here be truths. He, sir, sitting, as I say, in a lower
chair, sir − ’twas in the Bunch of Grapes, where indeed you have a delight to
sit, have you not?
FROTH
I have so, because it is an open room, and good [125] for winter.
