p. 113 _gives Julia the Letter_. Mrs. Behn took the hint for this device from _L’Ecole des Maris_, ii, XIV, where Isabella feigning to embrace Sganarelle gives her hand to Valère to kiss. p. 116 _Just-au-corps_. ‘A sort of jacket called a _justacorps_ came into fashion in Paris about 1650. M. Quicherat informs us that a pretty Parisienne, the wife of a _maître de comptes_ named Belot, was the first who appeared in it. In a ballad called _The New-made Gentlewoman_, written in the reign of Charles II, occurs the line “My justico and black patches I wear”. Mr. Fairholt suggested that _justico_ may be a corruption of _juste au corps_.--Planché’. _Cyclopedia of Costume_, Vol. I, p. 318. Pepys, 26 April, 1667, saw the Duchess of Newcastle ’.aked-necked, without anything about it, and a black just-au-corps’. cf. Dryden’s _Limberham; or, The Kind Keeper_ (1678), iv, I: ‘_Aldo_. Give her out the flower’d Justacorps with the petticoat belonging to’t.’ p. 116 _Towers_, The tower at this time was a curled frontlet of false hair. cf. Crowne’s _The Country Wit_ (1675), Act ii, II, where Lady Faddle cries to her maid, ‘run to my milliner’s for my gloves and essences ... run for my new towre.’ Shadwell, _The Virtuoso_ (1676), Act iii, mentions ‘Tires for the head, locks, tours, frouzes, and so forth’. _The Debauchee_ (1677), Act ii, I: Mrs. Saleware speaks of buying ‘fine clothes, and tours, and Points and knots.’ _The Younger Brother_ (1696), Act v, the last scene, old Lady Youthly anxiously asks her maid, ‘is not this Tour too brown?’ During the reign of Mary II and particularly in the time of Anne a Tower meant almost exclusively the high starched head-dress in vogue at that period. p. 116 _beat the hoof_. To go packing; to trudge off on foot. _Dic. Canting Crew_ (1690), ‘Hoof it or beat it on the Hoof--to walk on foot.’ Pad the hoof is a yet commoner expression. These and similar slang are still much used. p. 117 _finical_. According to the _N.E.D_. the use of finical as a verb is a nonce word only found in this passage. p. 119 _lead Apes in Hell_. To die an old maid. A very common expression. It will be remembered that Beatrice had something to say on the subject. --_Much Ado About Nothing_, Act ii, I. p. 122 _Docity_. Gumption, cf. note (p. 340), Vol. II, p. 441, _The Feign’d Curtezans_. p. 123 _Don Del Phobos_. The adventures of the Knight of the Sun and his brother Rosiclair belong to the Amadis school of romance. They were published in two volumes, folio, at Saragossa, 1580, under the title _Espejo de principes e cavalleros; o, Cavallero del Febo_. The first part of this romance was translated into English by Margaret Tiler, _The Mirrour of Princely deedes and Knighthood_ (4to, 1578), other portions appearing subsequently. The whole four parts, translated from the original Spanish into French, appeared in eight volumes, and an abridged version was made by the Marquis de Paulmy. The Amadis cycle long remained immensely popular.
