Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

What, ho! Chamberlain!

 

Gadshill

King Henry the Fourth Part I      Act II, Scene i, Line 47

 

A chamberlain is a bedchamber attendant. Gadshill is one of the n’er-do-wells that Hal hangs out with.


So, do we feel a need to discuss this line further? Not really. It should be noted, however, that it is a useful salutation. It can be used pretty much anywhere.


What, ho! Mojo!
What're you up to in your little rider basket there, buddy?

I wouldn't feel comfortable with you saluting me as a bedchamber attendant. In fact, it would ruffle my feathers.
