"Hath no man's dagger here a point for me?"
—Leonato, Much Ado About Nothing, IV.i.110

How poetically and concisely Leonato speaks his shame. Unfortunately, the shame is over the revelation of his daughter's non-virginity — which fact shows that he's a Really Conventional Patriarch.

My first time seeing a play in the arb and now I see what all the ado is about. There was much hilarity and nothing could have made the weather more perfect.

Now I'm starting to wonder if some fragment of #HephalumpWorld has splintered off, or if me/my instance has become widely blocked (cuzza my potty mouth?).

My timeline is normally more active on a Saturday morning. I KNOW people east of me are awake/waking up, and it's the wee hours in the Americas, but it's usually more boisterous; I try to follow peeps all across the globe, for specifically this reason. 🌎🌍🌏

It's quiet. Too quiet.

Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 6 of 37:

#MuchAdoAboutNothing is a wonderful comedy of intrigue, disguises & misunderstandings...what makes it special are Beatrice & Benedick, modern lovers who are unsentimental, always insulting each other, who are "too wise to woo peaceably"
