PORTIA
Fie, what a question’s that
If thou wert near a lewd interpreter!
But come, I’ll tell thee all my whole device
When I am in my coach, which stays for us
At the park gate. And therefore haste away,
For we must measure twenty miles today.

PORTIA
What kind of question is that! If I had a dirty mind, I’d think you meant
turning to men for sex. Here, I’ll tell you my whole plan in my carriage, which is
waiting for us at the gate. So hurry up, because we have twenty miles to cover today.
