Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

                                             I saw you lately,

When you caught hurt in parting two that fought:

 

Marina

Pericles, Prince of Tyre        Act IV, Scene i, Line 88


Leonine has told Marina that that he’s going to have to kill her by order of his boss, the governor’s wife. Marina’s trying to talk him out of it by telling him what a good guy he is. Here’s what she says to him in full.

You will not do’t for all the world, I hope,
You are well-favour’d, and your looks foreshow
You have a gentle heart. I saw you lately,
When you caught hurt in parting two that fought:
Good sooth, it show’s well in you: do so now;
Your lady seeks my life; come you between,
And save poor me, the weaker.

Marina’s pleas are in vain and do nothing to change Leonine’s mind. However, luckily for Marina (depending on how you look at it), just as Leonine is about to kill her, a bunch of pirates show up and kidnap her. I suppose that’s what’s called out of the frying pan, into the fire?


System Note:

For reasons unbeknownst to this luddite, it is not possible this morning to upload a picture to blogger.com. That's a shame, because I had a really good shot of Mojo peeking out from under the blankets with a surprised look on his face. The caption was 

Frying pan? who said frying pan? Eggs? Maybe some scrambled eggs?

I'll be looking into this technical problem with the hopes of getting it resolved as quickly as possible.
