So Bianca's suitors decided among themselves to try and get some one to marry Katharine - and then the father could at least be got to listen to their suit for Bianca.
A gentleman from Verona, named Petruchio, was the one they thought of, and, half in jest, they asked him if he would marry Katharine, the disagree able scold. Much to their surprise he said yes, that was just the sort of wife for him, and if Katharine were hand some and rich, he himself would under take soon to make her good-tempered.
Petruchio began by asking Baptista's permission to pay court to his gentle daughter Katharine - and Baptista was obliged to own that she was anything but gentle. And just then her music master rushed in, complaining that the naughty girl had broken her lute over his head, because he told her she was not playing correctly.
