 Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Peace, I pray you.

 

Mistress Quickly

The Merry Wives of Windsor         Act I, Scene iv, Line 79

 

Please stop. Please be quiet. Peace, I pray you.  Infinitely nicer than shut up. I’ve got to remember to use this one. Simple, sweet, to the point without being curt. Peace, I pray you. Yah, that’s a good one. Peace, I pray you, and let me drink my coffee.


Well, couple of things: 
I was sitting at home when I wrote the post above, and now I'm at work posting it to my blog; so this is not the coffee cup that I was trying to get back to when I was writing this post. Also, this particular cup, pictured above, is empty. I haven't gotten around to making a cup of coffee here at work, this morning, yet.
So the reality is, that this picture is sort of a prop, not the real thing. But since the blog is about theater, I guess that's okay. And if you have any objections to that, well...
Peace, I pray you.

Well now I'll know when you say this to me what you actually mean.
