 Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

Come, fellow, follow us for your reward.

 

Henry

King Henry the Sixth Part II         Act II Scene iii, Line 101


You will never, in a million years, guess the name of the fellow that Henry is addressing in today’s line.

It’s Peter. That’s right, Peter Thump.

After that rant yesterday about the lack of Peters in Will’s works, we come upon a Peter for the second day in a row! Totally Random! Totally amazing!

I’m pretty sure that this is a scene that I’ve never visited. I can see from my unmarked text that we’ve never picked a random line from here before. It’s an odd little scene that starts with the Duchess of Gloster being sent into exile and ends with two commoners coming before the king for judgment. And one of them is Peter Thump. That’s right, Peter Thump. Apparently, Peter Thump is the servant of Thomas Horner. I’m not exactly sure why, but it’s been determined that these two will duel to decide the outcome of a dispute. And Peter wins the duel.

So I think we’ll just end it at that for today. We’ll end it with Peter Thump, the victor, going off with the king to get his reward. 

Peter Thump.


Really. Peter Thump? 

Yes, that's right Mojo, Peter Thump.
