“Here's no knavery”

Grumio
Hortensio
Grumio
After hearing of Petruchio’s plan to marry Katherina for money and Hortensio's scheme to disguise himself to get access to Bianca, the sarcastic Grumio responds ironically, “Here’s no knavery (dishonesty).” His statement proves doubly ironic when we realize that Lucentio, who has just entered, is also being deceitful in order to get access to Bianca.
