A thing for me? it is a common thing −

EMILIA
Ha?

IAGO
To have a foolish wife.

EMILIA
O, is that all? What will you give me now,
For that same handkerchief?

IAGO
What handkerchief? [310]

EMILIA
What handkerchief?

Why, that the Moor first gave to Desdemona,
That which so often you did bid me steal.

IAGO
Hast stole it from her?

EMILIA
No, faith, she let it drop by negligence, [315]

And, to the advantage, I being here took’t up:
Look, here it is.

IAGO
A good wench, give it me.

EMILIA
What will you do with it, that you have been
So earnest to have me filch it?

IAGO
(Snatching it)
