First Graduate. Yes, indeed, but I liked Malvolio so much!
Court Gentleman. Good old Dick! My, don't we love her! Orsino's going to do him at class supper, you know. And Olivia's going to be Sir Toby.
Second Graduate. How noble! Sir Toby is about the best I ever saw, May.
Court Gentleman. Isn't she that? She's going to be Viola. She squirms and twists just like her—
Court Lady. Oh, come on, May Lucy, and get to bed! (They go out whistling airs from the play and are violently suppressed by a group of ushers, whose excited remonstrances are loudly criticised by a large and nervous lady in the rear, greatly delighting the contingent from the Mob.)
First Graduate. Now, Katharine, just tell me, perfectly impartially of course, how you think it compares with ours.

Fourth Graduate. Yes, exactly. She's too heavy for the part, I think.
