where people die. I like it better when they all get married
especially to dukes and earls. Shakespeare himself was married to
Anne Hatheway. They are both dead now. They have been dead a
good while. He was a very famous man.

FELICITY KING.

I've got a book of his plays that belonged to my Aunt Jane, and I
guess I'll have to tackle him as soon as I finish with the
Bible.")
