Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

What fashion, madam, shall I make your breeches?

 

Lucetta

The Two Gentlemen of Verona     Act II Scene vii, Line 49

That’s an interesting question. Have you ever had anyone ask you what fashion they should make your breeches? I certainly haven’t. I’m not sure I’ve ever had anyone ask me what fashion they should make anything of mine. I guess I’m not very big on fashion.

In any event, Lucetta is helping the madam get dressed up as a man. Whoa! There’s a shocker! Can you believe it? Well, we’ve certainly never seen that before in Will’s works: a woman getting dressed up as a man?

So here’s an interesting side point. We need fonts that indicate implied tone. I’m talking about that last sentence never seen that before in Will’s works. I’m obviously being sarcastic, but if you’re completely unfamiliar with Will’s works (then why the heck are you reading this?) you might not know that. Anyway, back to the breeches. Once more men, into the breech! No wait, that's a different play. Concentrate Pete, concentrate.

So I have no idea why, umm I think her name is Julia, is getting dressed up as a man. Do you Mojo?

 

Well, well, what's going on here? Talk about getting dressed up, little man! 
What's with the bow tie. Got a date?
