MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

20 \u00a0‘Tis but fortune; all is fortune. Maria once told
\n21 \u00a0me she did affect me: and I have heard herself come
\n22 \u00a0thus near, that, should she fancy, it should be one
\n23 \u00a0of my complexion. Besides, she uses me with a more
\n24 \u00a0exalted respect than any one else that follows her.
\n25 \u00a0What should I think on’t?<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

26 \u00a0Here’s an overweening rogue!<\/p>\n

FABIAN<\/b><\/p>\n

27 \u00a0O, peace! Contemplation makes a rare turkey-cock
\n28 \u00a0of him: how he jets under his advanced plumes!<\/p>\n

SIR ANDREW<\/b><\/p>\n

29 \u00a0‘Slight, I could so beat the rogue!<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

30 \u00a0Peace, I say.<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

31 \u00a0To be Count Malvolio!<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

32 \u00a0Ah, rogue!<\/p>\n

SIR ANDREW<\/b><\/p>\n

33 \u00a0Pistol him, pistol him.<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

34 \u00a0Peace, peace!<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

35 \u00a0There is example for’t; the lady of the Strachy
\n36 \u00a0married the yeoman of the wardrobe.<\/p>\n

SIR ANDREW<\/b><\/p>\n

37 \u00a0Fie on him, Jezebel!<\/p>\n

FABIAN<\/b><\/p>\n

38 \u00a0O, peace! now he’s deeply in: look how
\n39 \u00a0imagination blows him.<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

40 \u00a0Having been three months married to her, sitting in
\n41 \u00a0my state,–<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

42 \u00a0O, for a stone-bow, to hit him in the eye!<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

43 \u00a0Calling my officers about me, in my branched velvet
\n44 \u00a0gown; having come from a day-bed, where I have left
\n45 \u00a0Olivia sleeping,–<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

46 \u00a0Fire and brimstone!<\/p>\n

FABIAN<\/b><\/p>\n

47 \u00a0O, peace, peace!<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

48 \u00a0And then to have the humour of state; and after a
\n49 \u00a0demure travel of regard, telling them I know my
\n50 \u00a0place as I would they should do theirs, to for my
\n51 \u00a0kinsman Toby,–<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

52 \u00a0Bolts and shackles!<\/p>\n

FABIAN<\/b><\/p>\n

53 \u00a0O peace, peace, peace! now, now.<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

54 \u00a0Seven of my people, with an obedient start, make
\n55 \u00a0out for him: I frown the while; and perchance wind
\n56 \u00a0up watch, or play with my–some rich jewel. Toby
\n57 \u00a0approaches; courtesies there to me,–<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

58 \u00a0Shall this fellow live?<\/p>\n

FABIAN<\/b><\/p>\n

59 \u00a0Though our silence be drawn from us with cars, yet peace.<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

60 \u00a0I extend my hand to him thus, quenching my familiar
\n61 \u00a0smile with an austere regard of control,–<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

62 \u00a0And does not Toby take you a blow o’ the lips then?<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

63 \u00a0Saying, ‘Cousin Toby, my fortunes having cast me on
\n64 \u00a0your niece give me this prerogative of speech,’–<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

65 \u00a0What, what?<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

66 \u00a0‘You must amend your drunkenness.’<\/p>\n

SIR TOBY BELCH<\/b><\/p>\n

67 \u00a0Out, scab!<\/p>\n

FABIAN<\/b><\/p>\n

68 \u00a0Nay, patience, or we break the sinews of our plot.<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

69 \u00a0‘Besides, you waste the treasure of your time with
\n70 \u00a0a foolish knight,’–<\/p>\n

SIR ANDREW<\/b><\/p>\n

71 \u00a0That’s me, I warrant you.<\/p>\n

MALVOLIO<\/b><\/p>\n

72 \u00a0‘One Sir Andrew,’–<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
