Today’s Totally Random
Lines
Come, come, do you think I do not know you
by your excellent wit? Can virtue hide itself? Go to, mum, you are he: graces
will appear, and there’s an end.
Ursula
Much Ado About Nothing Act II, Scene vi, Line 117
This scene is a
masked ball. Ursula, one of Hero’s waiting-women, is dancing with Antonio, Hero’s
uncle. Ursula knows that the masked man she is dancing with is Antonio, but
Antonio is trying to convince Ursula that it’s not him. To this protestation,
Ursula gives us Today’s Line.
A line or two further
up, she had told Antonio that she knew it was him by his hands,
Here’s his dry
hand up and down: you are he, you are he.
Hands always give away age, don’t they?
He’s right; they do.
