MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
ACT I
................................................................................
SCENE II: A room in LEONATO's house.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
{Enter LEONATO and ANTONIO, meeting.}
LEONATO: How now, brother! Where is my cousin, your son?
hath he provided this music?
ANTONIO: He is very busy about it. But, brother, I can tell
you strange news that you yet dreamt not of.
LEONATO: Are they good?
ANTONIO: As the event stamps them: but they have a good
cover; they show well outward. The prince and Count
Claudio, walking in a thick-pleached alley in mine
orchard, were thus much overheard by a man of mine:
the prince discovered to Claudio that he loved my
niece your daughter and meant to acknowledge it 10
this night in a dance: and if he found her
accordant, he meant to take the present time by the
top and instantly break with you of it.
LEONATO: Hath the fellow any wit that told you this?
ANTONIO: A good sharp fellow: I will send for him; and
question him yourself.
LEONATO: No, no; we will hold it as a dream till it appear
itself: but I will acquaint my daughter withal,
that she may be the better prepared for an answer,
if peradventure this be true. Go you and tell 20
her of it.
[Enter Attendants.]
Cousins, you know what you have to do. O, I cry you
mercy, friend; go you with me, and I will use your
skill. Good cousin, have a care this busy time.
[Exeunt.]
