Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Speak thou for me, and tell them what I did.

[Throwing down the Duke of Somerset’s head]

 

Richard

King Henry the Sixth Part III    Act I Scene i, Line 16

I included the stage direction with today’s line because I thought it would spice up Today’s Totally Random Line which was, otherwise, a bit boring. Also, it gives us a pretty good idea what Richard did, without getting into a lot of context.

“Tell ‘em what I did,” he said, tossing the severed head of Somerset to the ground at their feet.

  “Well it seems pretty obvious what you did, Dick, unless you’ve got something more interesting to tell us about; more interesting than having cut off Somerset’s head?”

Severed Head?
