10. "Antipholus of Ephesus commanded Dromio of Syracuse to get the ducats from the Phoenix to bail himself out. Unfortunately, when he acquired the gold, he gave it to his true master, Antipholus of Syracuse, instead of Antipholus of Ephesus. Dromio of Syracuse explained to Antipholus of Syracuse that the purpose of the money is to bail himself out from the captivity of an officer named Adam. Since Antipholus of Syracuse was confused, he thought his servant was pulling his leg once more. Upon realizing this, Dromio of Syracuse decided to change the topic. The topic transformed from bailing his master out, to leaving Ephesus via a ship, once and for all."
