Speed

Two Gentlemen of Verona                     Act II Scene i, Line 304

I’m not going to go into an explanation of the scene and what’s happening, because I did that when we were in this scene just a bit ago. Here’s the link to that post. Mojo, The Bard, & Me
Apparently the fact that she can knit is just one more point in this woman’s favor.

I suppose knitting was a much more important four hundred years ago when it could account for some much needed, and much harder to come by, clothing. Now, of course, knitting is more of a hobby.

I like the first item that Speed mentions the best. Item, she brews good ale. Now that is a wench to be valued in any time.

Wench? Really? Wench?

Easy there, Mr. Mojo; that's how she was referred to in the text.

Oh, so that makes it okay? So I can call Mrs. Blagys a wench?

If you want her to open up a can of Whupass you can.
