Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Your loving uncle, twenty times his worth,

 

Earl of Salisbury

King Henry the Sixth, Part II       Act III, Scene ii, Line 268

 

There, today I gave you the one line as opposed to the full sentence, or full thought. Why? Because the full sentence was sixteen lines long and the full thought even more.

So, should i give you the full sixteen lines? Or more? Or should I just explain who the uncle is and why Salisbury is talking about him? Or none of the above? How about if I just fill in the names.

Your loving uncle Gloucester is twenty times Suffolk’s worth.

Right. There you have it then. What’s that? Who is Gloster, and why does the Earl of Salisbury think he is worth twenty Suffolks? Well that’s a question for another day.

No, Mr. Stripes, I did not say anything about salisbury steak.

And by the way, what are you doing standing on the counter, and where on earth did you get that outfit?

How does this guy even know what salisbury steak is?
