And yet Viola was to have been presented to Orsino as a eunuch!--Act i. sc. 2. Viola's speech. Either she forgot this, or else she had altered her plan. Ib. 'Vio'. A blank, my lord: she never told her love!-- But let concealment, &c. After the first line, (of which the last five words should be spoken with, and drop down in, a deep sigh) the actress ought to make a pause; and then start afresh, from the activity of thought, born of suppressed feelings, and which thought had accumulated during the brief interval, as vital heat under the skin during a dip in cold water. Ib. sc. 5. 'Fabian'. Though our silence be drawn from us by _cars_, yet peace. Perhaps, 'cables.' Act iii. sc. 1. 'Clown'. A sentence is but a _cheveril_ glove to a good wit. (Theobald's note.) Theobald's etymology of 'cheveril' is, of course quite right;--but he is mistaken in supposing that there were no such things as gloves of chicken-skin. They were at one time a main article in chirocosmetics. Act v. sc. 1. Clown's speech:-- So that, _conclusions to be as kisses_, if your four negatives make your two affirmatives, why, then, the worse for my friends, and the better for my foes. (Warburton reads 'conclusion to be asked, is.') Surely Warburton could never have wooed by kisses and won, or he would not have flounder-flatted so just and humorous, nor less pleasing than humorous, an image into so profound a nihility. In the name of love and wonder, do not four kisses make a double affirmative? The humour lies in the whispered 'No!' and the inviting 'Don't!' with which the maiden's kisses are accompanied, and thence compared to negatives, which by repetition constitute an affirmative. ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL. Act I. sc. 1. 'Count'. If the living be enemy to the grief, the excess makes it soon mortal. 'Bert'. Madam, I desire your holy wishes--. 'Laf'. How understand we that--? Bertram and Lafeu, I imagine, both speak together,--Lafeu referring to the Countess's rather obscure remark. Act. ii. sc. 1. (Warburton's note.) 'King'. --let _higher_ Italy (Those _'bated_, that inherit but the fall Of the last monarchy) see, that you come Not to woo honor, but to wed it.
