16	36	"Back, even in your vast numbers, you warriors and foes," cried Petrucchio, grimly, "lest I slice you like roast tarsk, lest I shred you like tur-pah and peel you like suls!" Chino and Lecchio, understood as two simple travelers on the road, come unexpectedly on Petrucchio and his companions, looked...	10
16	38	"But, good sir," called Chino, keeping his distance, "we are but two humble cloth workers!" "Do not seek to deceive Petrucchio, captain of Turia!" cried Petrucchio.	10
16	91	"Is it true that you are," inquired Chino, "as you suggested when first you called our attention to your perspicacity in penetrating disguises, Petrucchio?" "Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	95	"The noble Petrucchio, the famed Petrucchio?" asked Chino.	10
16	102	"The glorious and clever Petrucchio?" "Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	125	"I am, as you may have by now surmised, Petrucchio," said Petrucchio, "a captain of Turia, and have here," and here he indicated the women behind him, "under my protection, for which services I have taken fee, three noble ladies, each of gentle birth and high station".	10
21	180	I could well imagine Petrucchio, poor noble, brave Petrucchio, Boots Tarsk-Bit's "Captain," on the bridge.	10
21	299	"The story of how Petrucchio held the bridge will be long remembered," said Petrucchio.	10
22	49	"Petrucchio, how are you?" "Let a great pyre be built," said Petrucchio.	10
8	55	There the other male members of Boots's company lay on their stomachs, bound, sly, agile Chino, simple Lecchio, Petrucchio, the tall, doleful "captain," and Publius Andronicus, supposedly the most famous actor in the company, saving perhaps the incredible Boots Tarsk-Bit himself.	10
8	70	"If only I had my sword!" cried Petrucchio.	10
8	71	I really doubted that Petrucchio's huge, clumsy wooden sword, no more than a comic theatrical prop really, would be likely to turn the tide of battle.	10
8	349	We finished untying Chino, Lecchio, Petrucchio and Publius Andronicus.	10
9	20	Petrucchio and Publius Andronicus, too, voiced their assent.	10
9	190	"Come now," said Petrucchio.	10
9	210	"By all means," urged Petrucchio.	10
9	251	Chino, Lecchio and Petrucchio, too, moved about me, slapping me on the back and congratulating me.	10
9	259	"What is that?" asked lanky Petrucchio.	10
9	262	"He can use my wagon," said Petrucchio.	10
9	265	"Craft," said Petrucchio.	10
9	267	"Is it all right?" asked Petrucchio.	10
9	270	"I thought it was one hundred and seventy-one," said Petrucchio.	10
9	272	"Fascinating," said Petrucchio.	10
9	274	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
9	276	"Thank you," I said to Petrucchio and Andronicus.	10
9	369	Petrucchio, Andronicus, and Lecchio joined Boots, myself and Chino near the bound woman.	10
9	436	"Lecchio, Chino, Andronicus, Petrucchio, if you would," said Boots, "bring along these other things, whatever seems of value".	10
10	269	"Mainly Petrucchio's wagon, I would suppose," I said, "and his tharlarion.	10
15	13	Petrucchio, with the great wooden sword he used in playing the parts of the "Captain," stood resolutely by.	10
16	30	"Ho, varlets, craven churls, away!" cried lanky Petrucchio, drawing his great wooden sword from the preposterous sheath which dragged behind him.	10
16	35	Before Petrucchio, as though just having entered into the same area, the object of his attention, were Chino and Lecchio, in the garb of cloth workers, and with packs on their backs.	10
16	37	"Avaunt, speedily!" cried Petrucchio, swinging the great sword again, the girls behind him ducking once more.	10
16	39	"To him your disguises, as brilliantly contrived as they may be to deceive others, are as flimsy and transparent as a veil of Anango!" The Petrucchio character, it might be noted, is commonly, in the northern hemisphere, portrayed as a captain from Turia, a city securely far away, off in the souther...	10
16	54	Too, of course, in this context, it was supposed to convey that Petrucchio regarded himself as a very clever fellow, certainly not one to be easily fooled.	10
16	58	"Hah!" cried Petrucchio, skeptically, but he rested the point of the great wooden sword on the platform, and, with one hand, beneath that long-nosed halfmask, he characteristically began to twirl one half of that huge, fearsome mustache.	10
16	60	"Doubtless filled with weapons," surmised Petrucchio, twirling the fearsome mustache.	10
16	61	The girls in the robes of concealment, cowering behind Petrucchio, cried out in fear.	10
16	62	"Quiver not in such abject terror, my dears," said Petrucchio, reassuringly.	10
16	69	Petrucchio, then, twirling his mustache, turned confidentially to the audience.	10
16	70	"In case it is not altogether clear what is going on here," he said, "I am Petrucchio, a captain from Turia, and have here, under my protection, three noble ladies, each of gentle birth and high station".	10
16	92	"Who is Petrucchio?" asked Lecchio.	10
16	98	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	99	"The courageous Petrucchio?" "Chino!" said Lecchio.	10
16	101	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	104	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	110	"Of course, the great Petrucchio!" "Was it not he who single-handedly carved broad swaths through the legions of ten cities in the seven meadows of Saleria?" asked Chino of Lecchio.	10
16	111	"I see that my reputation has preceded me," said Petrucchio, twirling his mustache.	10
16	116	"And when set upon by ten thousand Tuchuks in their own country routed them all?" "Eleven thousand," said Petrucchio.	10
16	118	"It was he!" "None other," said Petrucchio.	10
16	120	"Is it your intention to bring them to devastation, perhaps for some fancied slight to your honor?" "No, no," said Petrucchio, modestly.	10
16	121	"Is it then the sacking of a few cities you are up to?" "No," admitted Petrucchio.	10
16	123	"Not even the burning of a few fields, the seizure of a piddling harvest or two?" "No," said Petrucchio.	10
16	127	"Of course!" responded Petrucchio, somewhat huffily, seemingly prepared, at the drop of an innuendo, to take umbrage, with all the fearsome consequences which that might entail for a hapless offender.	10
16	129	"What, ho!" cried Petrucchio.	10
16	130	"What means this 'or so it would seem'?" "His hearing," said Chino to Lecchio, who was sticking his finger in his ear and shaking his head, as though to restore his sense of hearing after having been partially deafened, "is more acute than that of the prowling sleen!" Then he said to Petrucchio, "Oh...	10
16	131	"And what, good sir," demanded Petrucchio, "might be the meaning of this guarded 'I suppose'?" "Why, it, too, is nothing," said Chino, adding, "—I suppose".	10
16	132	"Do you doubt my capacity to defend these damsels to the death, against even armies?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	135	"I do not take your meaning, sir," said Petrucchio, warily.	10
16	137	"Of course," said Petrucchio.	10
16	139	"What fears?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	141	"Why from the high towers of Pseudopolis," said Petrucchio.	10
16	149	"Here, here," called Petrucchio.	10
16	153	"What are you talking about?" pressed Petrucchio.	10
16	156	"Speak clearly, fellow," demanded Petrucchio.	10
16	158	"Of course," said Petrucchio.	10
16	160	"Authenticated gold?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	163	"We assure you, good sir," said one of the women, Rowena, "that our gold is good!" "It might not hurt to check on the matter, I think," speculated Petrucchio, suspiciously, "especially as we have here at our disposal one qualified to conduct the assays".	10
16	168	I wonder why?" "No charge, you say?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	170	"By all means, then," cried Petrucchio, and, with difficulty, he sheathed his great sword, and drew three pieces of gold-colored metal from his wallet, stage coins, handing them to Lecchio.	10
16	176	"What is it?" asked Petrucchio, eagerly.	10
16	190	"What is that?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	195	"Yes, yes!" pressed Petrucchio.	10
16	198	"What is the meaning of this?" said Petrucchio to the women, sternly.	10
16	210	She, then, and the others, handed over their purses to Lecchio, under the watchful eye of the suspicious Petrucchio.	10
16	239	"I do not understand," said Petrucchio.	10
16	241	"Ah!" cried Petrucchio, scandalized.	10
16	243	"When did you leave Pseudopolis?" "Two days ago, in the afternoon," said Petrucchio.	10
16	251	"What means this 'if ladies you truly be'?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	253	"What suspicions?" inquired Petrucchio, anxiously.	10
16	255	"Speak, fellow!" cried Petrucchio, yanking at his sword.	10
16	258	"No," said Petrucchio.	10
16	262	"Speak!" demanded Petrucchio.	10
16	264	"That is the exact sum discovered on these women, it is not?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	266	"And many other things, too, seem to tally," said Petrucchio, alarmed.	10
16	269	"Perhaps to you it might all seem a coincidence," said Petrucchio, "but to one such as I, one of the caste of warriors, one trained in wariness and discernment, it seems there might be more to it".	10
16	271	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	274	"I suspect that these three women with me might not be precisely what they seem," hinted Petrucchio, darkly.	10
16	277	"I think it is possible," said Petrucchio, confidentially, to Chino and Lecchio, "that these very women with me may be the escaped slaves of whom you speak".	10
16	280	"Think," said Petrucchio to them.	10
16	287	Petrucchio then stood upright, and twirled his mustache, meaningfully.	10
16	288	"What should we do?" asked Chino, looking to Petrucchio, naturally enough, in the situation, for guidance.	10
16	290	"That is for certain," agreed Petrucchio.	10
16	293	Petrucchio turned about and looked sternly upon the women.	10
16	296	"Are you all free women?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	300	"What were the names of the escaped slaves?" asked Petrucchio of Chino and Lecchio.	10
16	303	"Are you Lana, Tana and Bana?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	314	"It seems our suspicions are unfounded," said Petrucchio, relieved, "for these are not Lana, Tana and Bana, miserable escaped slaves, but the ladies Rowena, Telitsia and Bina, of Pseudopolis".	10
16	317	"Ah!" said Petrucchio, thoughtfully, twirling his mustache.	10
16	320	"How shall we do that?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	325	"What do you suggest?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	327	"What do you have in mind?" asked Petrucchio, alarmed.	10
16	371	"You see," said Chino to Petrucchio, "they have the faces of slaves".	10
16	372	"Clearly," agreed Petrucchio.	10
16	375	"Of course," granted Petrucchio, twirling a mustache.	10
16	387	Chino seized Rowena by the hair, and, lifting his arm up, held her up straight, before Petrucchio, and Lecchio took Lady Telitsia and Bina into custody, one in each hand, in exactly the same fashion, making them stand up straight, displaying them identically.	10
16	392	"Note the slave bodies," said Chino to Petrucchio.	10
16	393	"Yes," said Petrucchio, noting them well.	10
16	395	"Yes!" said Petrucchio.	10
16	404	"See?" asked Chino of Petrucchio.	10
16	405	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	421	"Clearly they are slaves," said Petrucchio.	10
16	428	"Yes," said Petrucchio, considering this additional evidence.	10
16	436	"Yes," admitted Petrucchio.	10
16	448	"Perhaps we should proceed with caution," said Petrucchio.	10
16	450	"I doubt that they are clever enough to fool one such as the great Petrucchio," said Chino.	10
16	452	Then he turned to Petrucchio.	10
16	454	"No," said Petrucchio.	10
16	459	"Do you have some chains in your things?" he asked Petrucchio.	10
16	460	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	472	"Yes," said Petrucchio, twirling a mustache.	10
16	482	"Oh?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	501	"You have now captured Lana, Tana and Bana," said Chino to Petrucchio.	10
16	503	"It is nothing," said Petrucchio, modestly.	10
16	518	"Well," said Petrucchio.	10
16	522	"If we let good Petrucchio return to Pseudopolis," said Lecchio, also addressing the audience, "that might well be the end of him and then our troupe, and hundreds of other troupes, inferior to ours, would be forced to do without him".	10
16	529	"What are you babbling about?" inquired Petrucchio.	10
16	531	Petrucchio himself then turned to the audience.	10
16	535	"Oh, to no one," said Petrucchio, innocently.	10
16	539	"I grow instantly suspicious," said Petrucchio to the crowd.	10
16	541	"That is a sobering thought," said Petrucchio to the audience.	10
16	552	"I thought," said Petrucchio, "that you two were going toward Pseudopolis, not back the other way".	10
16	572	"Very well, my friends," said Petrucchio, indicating the direction from whence Chino and Lecchio had come, "we shall all go this way.	10
16	576	By the way, where did you say you were from?" "Turia," said Petrucchio, puzzled.	10
16	578	"How is that?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	580	"I do not understand," said Petrucchio.	10
16	582	"Yes?" said Petrucchio.	10
16	586	"What news?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	588	"What war?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	590	"What war with Turia?" inquired Petrucchio.	10
16	594	"What for?" asked Petrucchio, alarmed.	10
16	598	Petrucchio began to quake in terror.	10
16	600	"Yes," Petrucchio assured him.	10
16	603	"True," asserted Petrucchio, "but I am in spite of my fierce appearance sometimes a gentle fellow, one who is often hesitant to wreak broadcast massacre too impulsively, particularly on so balmy a day.	10
16	605	"You may actually spare, then, the maddened mobs and the town militias, the assembled soldiery of the district?" "Perhaps," said Petrucchio.	10
16	607	"Dispose of the puddings," said Petrucchio.	10
16	611	"Dangerous?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	615	"Certainly, certainly," said Petrucchio, looking anxiously about himself.	10
16	617	"I do not see any dust," said Petrucchio, anxiously.	10
16	619	"Perhaps you could give me something now," said Petrucchio.	10
16	621	"But you have the gold," said Petrucchio.	10
16	623	"No, of course not," said Petrucchio.	10
16	625	"Do you wish top or bottom?" "Top," said Petrucchio.	10
16	628	"I did not see the coin!" said Petrucchio.	10
16	631	"You are right," said Petrucchio, dismayed.	10
16	633	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	635	"Two!" cried Petrucchio.	10
16	638	"Captain Petrucchio," cried Rowena.	10
16	639	"May I speak!" "Of course," said Petrucchio.	10
16	642	"Are you?" asked Petrucchio, now that he had lost the wagers apparently being willing to reconsider that matter.	10
16	644	"Do not be beguiled by our brazenly bared flesh, our degrading positions, our neck chains, forced upon us by men!" "I wonder," mused Petrucchio.	10
16	648	"I am perplexed," Petrucchio informed the crowd.	10
16	653	Tremble! Shudder! Quake in terror, for I, Petrucchio, draw upon you!" He then began to try to pull his great wooden sword from its lengthy sheath, dragging behind him.	10
16	655	Chino, and then Lecchio, too, helped Petrucchio, bit by bit, to free that mighty wooden blade.	10
16	656	"Thank you," said Petrucchio.	10
16	658	"Now, craven sleen," cried Petrucchio, flourishing that great blade, freed at last of its housing, "be off!" "Very well," said Chino.	10
16	660	"Hold!" cried Petrucchio.	10
16	663	"These are not slaves," cried Petrucchio.	10
16	667	"They are not yet legal slaves!" said Petrucchio.	10
16	669	"Surrender them to me," demanded Petrucchio, grimly, resting the point of that sword on the platform, its hilt now, in his hand, over his head.	10
16	674	"Good," said Petrucchio, transferring his sword to his left hand, that he might now twirl his mustache with his right hand.	10
16	676	"What?" asked Petrucchio, paling.	10
16	678	"Oh?" asked Petrucchio, quavering.	10
16	681	"Are you sure?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	686	"Do we have enough combatants on hand for a melee?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	688	"I really do not think we can muster the numbers necessary for a genuine melee," insisted Petrucchio.	10
16	690	"To the—death?" inquired Petrucchio.	10
16	693	"Only one?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	695	"That is not very many," said Petrucchio.	10
16	697	"But you have no weapons," said Petrucchio.	10
16	699	"I am?" inquired Petrucchio, anxiously.	10
16	701	"What are those?" asked Petrucchio, alarmed.	10
16	707	"The sun glints hideously from their flashing surfaces," said Petrucchio.	10
16	709	"Are they efficient weapons?" inquired Petrucchio, shuddering.	10
16	712	"Perhaps the women are not all that beautiful," said Petrucchio.	10
16	715	"Yes," said Rowena, quickly adding, as Lecchio lifted the switch menacingly, "—Master!" "They do seem to be slaves," said Petrucchio.	10
16	721	"Perhaps it would be churlish of me," said Petrucchio, "to slay you here upon the road, after we had become such fast friends".	10
16	723	"I spare you your lives," said Petrucchio, generously.	10
16	728	"Furthermore," said Petrucchio, grandly, "I give you the slaves!" "Slaves!" cried Rowena.	10
16	731	"Do not even consider it," said Petrucchio, as though the astounding magnanimity of such a gesture could possibly be dismissed lightly.	10
16	733	"It is nothing, my friend," said Petrucchio, modestly.	10
16	734	"Surely the glory of such an act must be long remembered in the songs of Petrucchio, Captain of Turia," exclaimed Chino.	10
16	735	"Have you heard such songs?" inquired Petrucchio.	10
16	737	"Really?" asked Petrucchio.	10
16	739	"Well, some of them," said Petrucchio.	10
16	741	"Naturally," said Petrucchio.	10
16	742	"We wish you well, noble captain," said Chino, shaking Petrucchio's hand, warmly.	10
16	743	"I do not think we shall soon forget our chance encounter with the great Captain Petrucchio".	10
16	745	"Few do," Petrucchio admitted.	10
16	747	"Yes," said Petrucchio.	10
16	749	"It is nothing," said Petrucchio, as though it might really have been nothing, the bestowal of so priceless a right.	10
16	758	"Well," said Chino to Petrucchio, after having satisfied himself with the quality of Lecchio's work, "it is time to be on our way.	10
16	760	"I hope you get good prices for them," said Petrucchio.	10
16	762	The girls, together, aghast, reproachfully, regarded Petrucchio.	10
16	768	"I wish you well!" Petrucchio called cheerily after them.	10
16	770	"And thus," he said, "concludes another of the adventures of Petrucchio, Captain of Turia.	10
16	771	This has been the story of how Petrucchio penetrated the disguises of three clever female slaves, masquerading as free women, captured them, and returned them to their rightful bondage.	10
16	773	Petrucchio then apparently looked into the distance.	10
16	792	Petrucchio, stepping forward, received the most applause.	10
16	828	Bina, smiling, hung back, standing between Petrucchio and Chino.	10
21	172	"He is your fellow, Petrucchio, I believe," said Flaminius.	10
21	187	"I have your friend, Petrucchio," said Flaminius.	10
21	189	"If I am slain," said Flaminius, "Petrucchio, of course, will die".	10
21	190	"If Petrucchio dies," I said, "you will be slain".	10
21	213	"Comply with my wishes," said Flaminius, "and Petrucchio goes free".	10
21	220	"Petrucchio bleeds," he said.	10
21	281	"Bring Petrucchio in," I said.	10
21	283	* * * * "Alas," cried Petrucchio, "I die!" "Nonsense," I said.	10
21	285	"Let a great pyre be built of hundreds of logs," cried Petrucchio.	10
21	290	"Oh?" asked Petrucchio.	10
21	293	"Was my sword recovered?" asked Petrucchio.	10
21	296	"There were hundreds of them," Petrucchio assured me.	10
21	302	Petrucchio suddenly slumped in my arms.	10
21	304	"Petrucchio," I said.	10
21	307	"Did I play it well?" Petrucchio asked Andronicus, his mentor in such matters.	10
21	309	"It was nice of you to come looking for me," said Petrucchio.	10
21	311	"Not that I needed help," said Petrucchio.	10
21	313	"If the sheaf of notes on acting hints, those on the detailed deportment of the head and hands, prepared for you by Publius Andronicus, had not somewhat turned the blade of Flaminius, it might have been a different matter," I told Petrucchio.	10
21	316	"Petrucchio," said Andronicus, warningly.	10
21	355	"Do not forget my sword," said Petrucchio.	10
21	358	He then exited, somewhat grandly, followed by Chino and Lecchio, supporting Petrucchio between them.	10
21	359	"I did not know Petrucchio was wanted in Ar," Lecchio was saying, in character.	10
22	19	"Yes," said Boots, "and, later, so, too, did Andronicus, with Chino, Lecchio, and Petrucchio".	10
22	21	"Where is Petrucchio?" "They are at the side of the wagon, over there," said Boots.	10
22	30	There I saw Petrucchio, lying propped up, amidst bags and blankets.	10
22	34	"Ho!" called Petrucchio, weakly, lifting his hand, greeting me.	10
22	37	"We would have joined the others, coming forth to bid you welcome," said Andronicus, "but Petrucchio is feeling a bit low today, and I am tending him".	10
22	43	"If it should be accepted as genuine, and win accreditation, being entered into the catalogs," said Petrucchio, "that would come out to one hundred and seventy-four.	10
22	51	"Let it contain a hundred logs!" said Petrucchio.	10
22	53	"Oh?" asked Petrucchio.	10
22	55	"I will live?" inquired Petrucchio.	10
22	57	"I suppose it is just as well," mused Petrucchio.	10
22	60	"Very well," said Petrucchio, convinced.	10
22	62	"How did Petrucchio receive this injury?" I asked.	10
22	104	He learned it when he was coming back out of the city, with Chino and Lecchio, with Petrucchio as his supposed prisoner".	10
22	252	Even Petrucchio climbed to his feet.	10
