The Spanish rider has committed to the squad for his final season before retiring at the end of 2016. Contador wrote on Twitter: 'Hello all, happy to announce that in 2016 will continue being rider of @tinkoff-saxo'. Multiple Grand Tour winner Alberto Contador has announced he will end his career with Tinkoff-Saxo in 2016 . The 32-year-old Spaniard is one of just six riders to have won all three Grand Tours . Tinkoff-Saxo team boss Oleg Tinkov said on Twitter: 'Best stays with the best'. Contador is among the favourites for the 2015 Tour de France, which begins on July 4 in Utrecht. The 32-year-old is one of six riders to have won all three grand tours - of France, Italy and Spain. In 2014 Contador crashed out of the Tour de France, but responded by winning the Vuelta a Espana. Contador won the 2007 and 2009 Tours de France - he was stripped of the 2010 title for an anti-doping infringement - the 2008 Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta in 2008, 2012 and 2014. Contador lifts the Giro d'Italia trophy in 2011 while riding for the Saxo Bank team . Contador celebrates winning the Vuelta a Espana in 2014 - it was his third time winning it . Tinkov said in a media release: 'I'm very happy that Alberto will lead Tinkoff-Saxo in 2016 as well, because I truly believe he is the best cyclist in the world and I am convinced he will continue to be so for a few more years. 'Unfortunately, he decided he would retire at the end of next year which means he will race with my team for two full seasons. I would have, obviously, preferred him to stay longer but that was his personal decision. 'However, I am very proud that Alberto's impressive career will conclude in my team and I hope he takes the Tinkoff-Saxo colours to the top step of the Tour de France podium in 2015 and 2016.' Contador added: 'I am very happy to have closed the deal. It is already five years that I have been working with (team manager) Bjarne Riis and the possibility to continue for another year is satisfying.' Contador lifts the Tour de France trophy after winning the competition in 2009 ahead of Lance Armstrong .

The 32-year-old is one of six riders to have won all three grand tours - of France, Italy and Spain. In 2014 Contador crashed out of the Tour de France, but responded by winning the Vuelta a Espana. Contador won the 2007 and 2009 Tours de France - he was stripped of the 2010 title for an anti-doping infringement - the 2008 Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta in 2008, 2012 and 2014. Contador lifts the Giro d'Italia trophy in 2011 while riding for the Saxo Bank team . Contador celebrates winning the Vuelta a Espana in 2014 - it was his third time winning it . Tinkov said in a media release: 'I'm very happy that Alberto will lead Tinkoff-Saxo in 2016 as well, because I truly believe he is the best cyclist in the world and I am convinced he will continue to be so for a few more years. 'Unfortunately, he decided he would retire at the end of next year which means he will race with my team for two full seasons. I would have, obviously, preferred him to stay longer but that was his personal decision. 'However, I am very proud that Alberto's impressive career will conclude in my team and I hope he takes the Tinkoff-Saxo colours to the top step of the Tour de France podium in 2015 and 2016.' Contador added: 'I am very happy to have closed the deal. It is already five years that I have been working with (team manager) Bjarne Riis and the possibility to continue for another year is satisfying.' Contador lifts the Tour de France trophy after winning the competition in 2009 ahead of Lance Armstrong .

tifu, ok so this wasn't today, it was about a week ago, but i've only just made a reddit account, and i feel you should all laugh at my embarrassment because that shits funny. right, well i'd been talking to this girl i'd know for a while now through friends and we decided to meet up, we walked around town kinda between where we both live for a while, and we went into one shop and i saw a "18 today" badge so i said to the girl, i've always wondered if i'd get served at a pub if i was to wear this badge, so i brought it. probably the best £1 i've ever spent(im only 17, legal drinking age is 18 in uk) it worked. somehow it worked, i brought a shit ton of alcohols for me and said girl, we then ended up walking round the town very, very drunk, at about 2pm. we went into one of the two arcades("mall" if you're american) we then both went into the parent and child's toilet thingy, and there was a chair inside, i sat down and the girl sat on my lap and we started kissing a lot, then i started unbuttoning her trousers, literally immediately after there was a knock on the door, we ignored it and carried on kissing, then they knocked again, except this time they said "this is security, we know what you're up to in there" we unlocked the door and there was 3 security guards outside the door, 3. we both did the walk of shame out the room. i got cockblocked by 3 security guards, as we were leaving one security guard said "try the other arcade, they won't catch you in there" and then laughed, we then left the arcade and carried on walking around this town that i'd only been there once, so didn't know very well, we ended up climbing on a roof, whilst still very drunk, we ended up having sex on a random roof, the first time i'd met this girl, after that we got off the roof and realised that the roof we were on was the one of the other arcade, and we were in full sight of some offices the other side of the road, people probably saw me having drunken sec on a roof with a girl i'd met about 4 hours before. i don't know whether to be proud or not.

tifu, ok so this wasn't today, it was about a week ago, but i've only just made a reddit account, and i feel you should all laugh at my embarrassment because that shits funny. right, well i'd been talking to this girl i'd know for a while now through friends and we decided to meet up, we walked around town kinda between where we both live for a while, and we went into one shop and i saw a "18 today" badge so i said to the girl, i've always wondered if i'd get served at a pub if i was to wear this badge, so i brought it. probably the best £1 i've ever spent(im only 17, legal drinking age is 18 in uk) it worked. somehow it worked, i brought a shit ton of alcohols for me and said girl, we then ended up walking round the town very, very drunk, at about 2pm. we went into one of the two arcades("mall" if you're american) we then both went into the parent and child's toilet thingy, and there was a chair inside, i sat down and the girl sat on my lap and we started kissing a lot, then i started unbuttoning her trousers, literally immediately after there was a knock on the door, we ignored it and carried on kissing, then they knocked again, except this time they said "this is security, we know what you're up to in there" we unlocked the door and there was 3 security guards outside the door, 3. we both did the walk of shame out the room. i got cockblocked by 3 security guards, as we were leaving one security guard said "try the other arcade, they won't catch you in there" and then laughed, we then left the arcade and carried on walking around this town that i'd only been there once, so didn't know very well, we ended up climbing on a roof, whilst still very drunk, we ended up having sex on a random roof, the first time i'd met this girl, after that we got off the roof and realised that the roof we were on was the one of the other arcade, and we were in full sight of some offices the other side of the road, people probably saw me having drunken sec on a roof with a girl i'd met about 4 hours before. i don't know whether to be proud or not.

tifu, ok so this wasn't today, it was about a week ago, but i've only just made a reddit account, and i feel you should all laugh at my embarrassment because that shits funny. right, well i'd been talking to this girl i'd know for a while now through friends and we decided to meet up, we walked around town kinda between where we both live for a while, and we went into one shop and i saw a "18 today" badge so i said to the girl, i've always wondered if i'd get served at a pub if i was to wear this badge, so i brought it. probably the best £1 i've ever spent(im only 17, legal drinking age is 18 in uk) it worked. somehow it worked, i brought a shit ton of alcohols for me and said girl, we then ended up walking round the town very, very drunk, at about 2pm. we went into one of the two arcades("mall" if you're american) we then both went into the parent and child's toilet thingy, and there was a chair inside, i sat down and the girl sat on my lap and we started kissing a lot, then i started unbuttoning her trousers, literally immediately after there was a knock on the door, we ignored it and carried on kissing, then they knocked again, except this time they said "this is security, we know what you're up to in there" we unlocked the door and there was 3 security guards outside the door, 3. we both did the walk of shame out the room. i got cockblocked by 3 security guards, as we were leaving one security guard said "try the other arcade, they won't catch you in there" and then laughed, we then left the arcade and carried on walking around this town that i'd only been there once, so didn't know very well, we ended up climbing on a roof, whilst still very drunk, we ended up having sex on a random roof, the first time i'd met this girl, after that we got off the roof and realised that the roof we were on was the one of the other arcade, and we were in full sight of some offices the other side of the road, people probably saw me having drunken sec on a roof with a girl i'd met about 4 hours before. i don't know whether to be proud or not.

tifu, ok so this wasn't today, it was about a week ago, but i've only just made a reddit account, and i feel you should all laugh at my embarrassment because that shits funny. right, well i'd been talking to this girl i'd know for a while now through friends and we decided to meet up, we walked around town kinda between where we both live for a while, and we went into one shop and i saw a "18 today" badge so i said to the girl, i've always wondered if i'd get served at a pub if i was to wear this badge, so i brought it. probably the best £1 i've ever spent(im only 17, legal drinking age is 18 in uk) it worked. somehow it worked, i brought a shit ton of alcohols for me and said girl, we then ended up walking round the town very, very drunk, at about 2pm. we went into one of the two arcades("mall" if you're american) we then both went into the parent and child's toilet thingy, and there was a chair inside, i sat down and the girl sat on my lap and we started kissing a lot, then i started unbuttoning her trousers, literally immediately after there was a knock on the door, we ignored it and carried on kissing, then they knocked again, except this time they said "this is security, we know what you're up to in there" we unlocked the door and there was 3 security guards outside the door, 3. we both did the walk of shame out the room. i got cockblocked by 3 security guards, as we were leaving one security guard said "try the other arcade, they won't catch you in there" and then laughed, we then left the arcade and carried on walking around this town that i'd only been there once, so didn't know very well, we ended up climbing on a roof, whilst still very drunk, we ended up having sex on a random roof, the first time i'd met this girl, after that we got off the roof and realised that the roof we were on was the one of the other arcade, and we were in full sight of some offices the other side of the road, people probably saw me having drunken sec on a roof with a girl i'd met about 4 hours before. i don't know whether to be proud or not.

The owner of a property near GCHQ where Banksy daubed his ‘Spybooth’ artwork has claimed that the mural had made his life a misery after being given listed status. David Possee could have expected a windfall after the work was sprayed onto the side of his end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. But after the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it - and cannot carry out building work to make the house habitable. Scroll down for video . Eavesdropping: Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property . Public interest: Dozens of people came to see the artwork after it was sprayed onto the side of an end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in April 2014 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire . As a result he cannot rent out the home, which is empty. He claimed he has been harassed by ‘malicious busybodies’ and now just wants to sell the property - so he can ‘get on with my life’. Mr Possee said: ‘If Cheltenham want it, they can have it. Just buy the building off me, I just want to get on with my life. Cut me free, you can have the Cheltenham Banksy.’ Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property. It appeared last April before soaring in value when Banksy confirmed it was one of his pieces. The wall was boarded up but a bidding war ensued as locals tried to raise an estimated £1million to secure it for the town. A businessman claimed to have raised enough, but his bid fell through. Protection: Scaffolding was put up over the artwork after it was vandalised. After the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it . Covering: It was feared the chunk of wall could be removed and sold, but last month Cheltenham Borough Council voted to incorporate the mural into the building’s existing Grade II-listed status . It was feared the chunk of wall could be removed and sold, but last month Cheltenham Borough Council voted to incorporate the mural into the building’s existing Grade II-listed status. This means Mr Possee - whose home is thought to have tripled in value since the mural was painted - now cannot carry out urgent repairs to strengthen and re-render the walls. He said: ‘If this had been any other artist, it [the listed status] would have been laughed out of the chambers. I have no idea where I go from here.' Mr Possee said he could fight the decision, but that would mean him spending his own money to launch a case at the High Court. He said the council ‘agreed in principle’ to protect the mural when he first approached them for help.

A businessman claimed to have raised enough, but his bid fell through . Warning: The artwork appeared last April but soared in value when Banksy confirmed it was one of his pieces . Speaking to Terry Mechan on community radio station Swindon 105.5, he said: ‘They didn’t come up with any sort of ideas. So I suggested Perspex but they said it’s against listed consent. Spybooth: The Banksy piece in its vandalised state. Mr Possee said he has had 'substantial offers from people who collect this kind of artwork' ‘They just said “you can’t put that on there” and I was threatened with a fine.' He added: 'I think it deserves to stay in Cheltenham, but obviously it is difficult to re-render a house that has that artwork on it. ‘It’s sat empty now, and it can’t stay that way forever. At the end of the day, we can sit and let gravity take an effect and the decision will be made for us.’ Mr Possee has even been targeted by men posing as ‘millionaire architects’ trying to buy the building, who turned out to be frauds. Controversy has surrounded the piece since its arrival, leaving the landlord inundated with ‘malicious messages’ from locals desperate to keep it in the town. He added: ‘Some busybody from Cheltenham even came up with this idea that I didn’t own that part of the house. 'There’s not a "pretty strong certainty" that I own it - it is certain that I do. I take a bit of umbrage with people getting involved with my business when it’s nothing to do with them. ‘I’ve had substantial offers from people who collect this kind of artwork - and if it was about money for me I’d have sold it by now.’ After listed status was granted last month, the council's case officer Martin Chandler said: 'It will be afforded a greater level of protection than it has currently. 'But it doesn't mean we won't be faced with future applications to consider other changes to it. It [planning consent] doesn't automatically mean it's going to be retained in situ.' Seeing the Banksy for the first time when he returned from holiday in April 2014, Mr Possee said he thought it was ‘quite nice’ and liked the new addition before the problems began.

The owner of a property near GCHQ where Banksy daubed his ‘Spybooth’ artwork has claimed that the mural had made his life a misery after being given listed status. David Possee could have expected a windfall after the work was sprayed onto the side of his end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. But after the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it - and cannot carry out building work to make the house habitable.

The owner of a property near GCHQ where Banksy daubed his ‘Spybooth’ artwork has claimed that the mural had made his life a misery after being given listed status. David Possee could have expected a windfall after the work was sprayed onto the side of his end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. But after the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it - and cannot carry out building work to make the house habitable. Scroll down for video . Eavesdropping: Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property . Public interest: Dozens of people came to see the artwork after it was sprayed onto the side of an end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in April 2014 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire . As a result he cannot rent out the home, which is empty. He claimed he has been harassed by ‘malicious busybodies’ and now just wants to sell the property - so he can ‘get on with my life’. Mr Possee said: ‘If Cheltenham want it, they can have it. Just buy the building off me, I just want to get on with my life. Cut me free, you can have the Cheltenham Banksy.’ Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property. It appeared last April before soaring in value when Banksy confirmed it was one of his pieces. The wall was boarded up but a bidding war ensued as locals tried to raise an estimated £1million to secure it for the town. A businessman claimed to have raised enough, but his bid fell through. Protection: Scaffolding was put up over the artwork after it was vandalised. After the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it .

It was feared the chunk of wall could be removed and sold, but last month Cheltenham Borough Council voted to incorporate the mural into the building’s existing Grade II-listed status. This means Mr Possee - whose home is thought to have tripled in value since the mural was painted - now cannot carry out urgent repairs to strengthen and re-render the walls. He said: ‘If this had been any other artist, it [the listed status] would have been laughed out of the chambers. I have no idea where I go from here.' Mr Possee said he could fight the decision, but that would mean him spending his own money to launch a case at the High Court. He said the council ‘agreed in principle’ to protect the mural when he first approached them for help.

Speaking to Terry Mechan on community radio station Swindon 105.5, he said: ‘They didn’t come up with any sort of ideas. So I suggested Perspex but they said it’s against listed consent. Spybooth: The Banksy piece in its vandalised state. Mr Possee said he has had 'substantial offers from people who collect this kind of artwork' ‘They just said “you can’t put that on there” and I was threatened with a fine.' He added: 'I think it deserves to stay in Cheltenham, but obviously it is difficult to re-render a house that has that artwork on it. ‘It’s sat empty now, and it can’t stay that way forever. At the end of the day, we can sit and let gravity take an effect and the decision will be made for us.’ Mr Possee has even been targeted by men posing as ‘millionaire architects’ trying to buy the building, who turned out to be frauds. Controversy has surrounded the piece since its arrival, leaving the landlord inundated with ‘malicious messages’ from locals desperate to keep it in the town. He added: ‘Some busybody from Cheltenham even came up with this idea that I didn’t own that part of the house. 'There’s not a "pretty strong certainty" that I own it - it is certain that I do. I take a bit of umbrage with people getting involved with my business when it’s nothing to do with them. ‘I’ve had substantial offers from people who collect this kind of artwork - and if it was about money for me I’d have sold it by now.’ After listed status was granted last month, the council's case officer Martin Chandler said: 'It will be afforded a greater level of protection than it has currently. 'But it doesn't mean we won't be faced with future applications to consider other changes to it. It [planning consent] doesn't automatically mean it's going to be retained in situ.' Seeing the Banksy for the first time when he returned from holiday in April 2014, Mr Possee said he thought it was ‘quite nice’ and liked the new addition before the problems began.

The owner of a property near GCHQ where Banksy daubed his ‘Spybooth’ artwork has claimed that the mural had made his life a misery after being given listed status. David Possee could have expected a windfall after the work was sprayed onto the side of his end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. But after the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it - and cannot carry out building work to make the house habitable.

Eavesdropping: Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property .

The owner of a property near GCHQ where Banksy daubed his ‘Spybooth’ artwork has claimed that the mural had made his life a misery after being given listed status. David Possee could have expected a windfall after the work was sprayed onto the side of his end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. But after the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it - and cannot carry out building work to make the house habitable. Scroll down for video . Eavesdropping: Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property . Public interest: Dozens of people came to see the artwork after it was sprayed onto the side of an end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in April 2014 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire . As a result he cannot rent out the home, which is empty. He claimed he has been harassed by ‘malicious busybodies’ and now just wants to sell the property - so he can ‘get on with my life’. Mr Possee said: ‘If Cheltenham want it, they can have it. Just buy the building off me, I just want to get on with my life. Cut me free, you can have the Cheltenham Banksy.’ Spybooth features three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box on the side of the £300,000 property. It appeared last April before soaring in value when Banksy confirmed it was one of his pieces. The wall was boarded up but a bidding war ensued as locals tried to raise an estimated £1million to secure it for the town. A businessman claimed to have raised enough, but his bid fell through. Protection: Scaffolding was put up over the artwork after it was vandalised. After the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it .

It was feared the chunk of wall could be removed and sold, but last month Cheltenham Borough Council voted to incorporate the mural into the building’s existing Grade II-listed status. This means Mr Possee - whose home is thought to have tripled in value since the mural was painted - now cannot carry out urgent repairs to strengthen and re-render the walls. He said: ‘If this had been any other artist, it [the listed status] would have been laughed out of the chambers. I have no idea where I go from here.' Mr Possee said he could fight the decision, but that would mean him spending his own money to launch a case at the High Court. He said the council ‘agreed in principle’ to protect the mural when he first approached them for help.

Speaking to Terry Mechan on community radio station Swindon 105.5, he said: ‘They didn’t come up with any sort of ideas. So I suggested Perspex but they said it’s against listed consent. Spybooth: The Banksy piece in its vandalised state. Mr Possee said he has had 'substantial offers from people who collect this kind of artwork' ‘They just said “you can’t put that on there” and I was threatened with a fine.' He added: 'I think it deserves to stay in Cheltenham, but obviously it is difficult to re-render a house that has that artwork on it. ‘It’s sat empty now, and it can’t stay that way forever. At the end of the day, we can sit and let gravity take an effect and the decision will be made for us.’ Mr Possee has even been targeted by men posing as ‘millionaire architects’ trying to buy the building, who turned out to be frauds. Controversy has surrounded the piece since its arrival, leaving the landlord inundated with ‘malicious messages’ from locals desperate to keep it in the town. He added: ‘Some busybody from Cheltenham even came up with this idea that I didn’t own that part of the house. 'There’s not a "pretty strong certainty" that I own it - it is certain that I do. I take a bit of umbrage with people getting involved with my business when it’s nothing to do with them. ‘I’ve had substantial offers from people who collect this kind of artwork - and if it was about money for me I’d have sold it by now.’ After listed status was granted last month, the council's case officer Martin Chandler said: 'It will be afforded a greater level of protection than it has currently. 'But it doesn't mean we won't be faced with future applications to consider other changes to it. It [planning consent] doesn't automatically mean it's going to be retained in situ.' Seeing the Banksy for the first time when he returned from holiday in April 2014, Mr Possee said he thought it was ‘quite nice’ and liked the new addition before the problems began.

The owner of a property near GCHQ where Banksy daubed his ‘Spybooth’ artwork has claimed that the mural had made his life a misery after being given listed status. David Possee could have expected a windfall after the work was sprayed onto the side of his end-of-terrace property close to Britain's surveillance centre in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. But after the stencil was granted Grade II-listed status, Mr Possee, 45, has been unable to remove and sell it - and cannot carry out building work to make the house habitable.

ANTONY. From Sicyon, ho, the news! Speak there! FIRST ATTENDANT. The man from Sicyon--is there such an one? SECOND ATTENDANT. He stays upon your will. ANTONY. Let him appear.--
These strong Egyptian fetters I must break,
Or lose myself in dotage.--
[Enter another MESSENGER.] What are you? SECOND MESSENGER. Fulvia thy wife is dead. ANTONY. Where died she? SECOND MESSENGER. In Sicyon:
Her length of sickness, with what else more serious
Importeth thee to know, this bears. [Gives a letter.] ANTONY. Forbear me. [Exit MESSENGER.] There's a great spirit gone! Thus did I desire it:
What our contempts doth often hurl from us,
We wish it ours again; the present pleasure,
By revolution lowering, does become
The opposite of itself: she's good, being gone;
The hand could pluck her back that shov'd her on. I must from this enchanting queen break off:
Ten thousand harms, more than the ills I know,
My idleness doth hatch--ho, Enobarbus! [Re-enter ENOBARBUS.] ENOBARBUS. What's your pleasure, sir? ANTONY. I must with haste from hence. ENOBARBUS. Why, then we kill all our women: we see how mortal an unkindness
is to them; if they suffer our departure, death's the word.

ANTONY. From Sicyon, ho, the news! Speak there! FIRST ATTENDANT. The man from Sicyon--is there such an one? SECOND ATTENDANT. He stays upon your will. ANTONY. Let him appear.--
These strong Egyptian fetters I must break,
Or lose myself in dotage.--
[Enter another MESSENGER.] What are you? SECOND MESSENGER. Fulvia thy wife is dead. ANTONY. Where died she? SECOND MESSENGER. In Sicyon:
Her length of sickness, with what else more serious
Importeth thee to know, this bears. [Gives a letter.] ANTONY. Forbear me. [Exit MESSENGER.] There's a great spirit gone! Thus did I desire it:
What our contempts doth often hurl from us,
We wish it ours again; the present pleasure,
By revolution lowering, does become
The opposite of itself: she's good, being gone;
The hand could pluck her back that shov'd her on. I must from this enchanting queen break off:
Ten thousand harms, more than the ills I know,
My idleness doth hatch--ho, Enobarbus! [Re-enter ENOBARBUS.] ENOBARBUS. What's your pleasure, sir? ANTONY. I must with haste from hence. ENOBARBUS. Why, then we kill all our women: we see how mortal an unkindness
is to them; if they suffer our departure, death's the word.
