Dro. S. [Within] Right, sir; I’ll tell you when, an you’ll tell me wherefore.

40 Ant. E. Wherefore? for my dinner: I have not dined to-day.

Dro. S. [Within] Nor to-day here you must not; come again when you may.

Ant. E. What art thou that keepest me out from the house I owe?

Dro. S. [Within] The porter for this time, sir, and my name is Dromio.

Dro. E. O villain, thou hast stolen both mine office and my name!

45 The one ne’er got me credit, the other mickle blame.

If thou hadst [been] Dromio to-day in my place,

Thou wouldst have changed thy face for a name, or thy name for [an ass].

[Luce. [Within]] What a coil is [there, Dromio? who] are those at the gate?
