From Henry V, at the moment my favorite.

K. HEN.
Indeed, the French may lay twenty French crowns to one they will beat us, for they bear them on their shoulders. But it is no English treason to cut French crowns, and tomorrow the king himself will be a clipper.


Good lord the WORD PLAY! Just look at it! .:: points frantically ::.

Tres sneaky. But yes, it does make a body wonder, is he presenting it thus for her sake, or for his? (The Inner Mandeville says: always serving self-interest!) Honestly, I think it's a little of both, because Harry really is a good guy, as you see best in the way he leads his men. And what better way is there to know a man, than to see him lead?

Hee! No, never.

I think both. She's presented as very young, and I think he's moved to pity and to a sense of protectiveness, as well as wanting her, but also, he wants the alliance and he wants it willing and as friendly as possible. As Queen of England and France, she'd make a fairly formidable force for trouble, if she chose to.

Quite true. And from how quickly she picks up the language and nuance, she is also a sly young thing, and I don't doubt he sees that. 'Formidable force' indeed, and not one to perturb whether or not marriage and possession is actually up to her at all.

*nods* It's a rather heavily layered scene.

So, let me know when you're ready for the next act... :-)

I think that can be safely agreed upon, yes.

...You? Are a beautiful, beautiful person and I love you beyond all marginally sensible expressions.

(TRS: Act 1 safely on my harddrive; more please? With any luck - and all certainty of personal opinion - it'll wipe out the torture of listening to my own hair-rippingly disheartening Recorded Spanish Practice Oral Exam Responses)

If you didn't get it before the server borked, apply to [livejournal.com profile] fairestcat for succor?
