Subject: Two Howlers
Dear colleagues,
From the midst of examinations, I offer these, one a strange typo, one
a lovely misreading:
1) At the end of Hamlet, Horatio says he will tell the story again:
"So shall you hear
Of carnal, bloody and unnatural pets."
Down, Prince!
2) [from an answer on Richard 3]
"Buckingham proposes that the Prince be brought from Ludlow on a little
train. Rivers asks why it must be a small train. Buckingham says that a
large one might renew the civil war..."
A really USEFUL engine, no doubt.
Cheers,
Tom
