Today’s Totally Random
Lines
I write good creature; wheresoe’er she is,
Her heart weighs sadly: this young maid
might do her
A shrewd turn, if she pleased.
How do
you mean?
Widow/Helena
All’s Well That Ends Well Act III, Scene v, Line 69
The first three
and a half lines are the Widow’s and the last half line is Helena’s. They’re
talking about Helena’s predicament with Bertram, though the widow doesn’t realize
that it’s Helena she is speaking with. As such, she’s being blunt, forthright,
straight, and plain-spoken, because she has no reason to be otherwise. In other
words, she’s being round with Helena.
I hope you
realize the I used yesterday’s word today.
