"O, if men were to be saved by merit, what hole in hell
were hot enough for {you}?..."

Henry IV, Part I, Act I, Scene 2, Lines 104-105.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Ah, my dear Aristus...

SO perfect!

Thank you!

[Aristus]

8. Thanks, CalPeg!

[Tobin S.]

2. When I first heard the news

my intuition would be that it would be a home grown terrorist working alone. I wasn't far off, or it doesn't appear to be so.

[Aristus]

9. I agree.

Seems to have had that feel to it...

[In_The_Wind]

3. Hell is what he deserves.

[Aristus]

10. Leaving Dzhokhar alone with the family members of the dead

would seem to be a suitable similacrum...

[Lady Freedom Returns]

4. Well worth waiting "With bated breath and whisp'ring humbleness".

Nailed it, again!

[Aristus]

11. Thank you, LFR!

[sheshe2]

5. Perfect!

Thank you, Aristus!

[Aristus]

17. Thank you, sheshe2!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

6. How very appropriate!

Thanks, Aristus!

[Aristus]

12. Thank you, SR.

I'm glad you're a regular here.

7. Spot on.

Hoisting one to you and Will.

[Aristus]

13. Will isn't here right now, love_katz.

Prowling around Southwark, no doubt. Although if the bishop discovers him skulking around instead of in church, Will could earn a rebuke.

If he were here, love_katz, he'd likely say: "Ta, love!"

[love_katz]

14. May Will easily escape the notice of the bishop.

And, Ta, to you both. Happy Sunday, hope it is good.

[Aristus]

15. He probably will.

The bishop owns all the land in Southwark, and draws revenue from the businesses located there. Bars, taverns, bear pits, gambling dens, even brothels. And of course, the theaters. His Eminence won't bite the hand that feeds him.

Back at ya!...

[love_katz]

16. A scary place, Will's England...

unfortunately, our own time is starting to resemble some of this. Grrrrrrrrr.

I wish that those whom we feed through our labors would learn not to bite us.

[Knightraven]

18. With those pictures, Hamlet could be used.

"O villain, villain, smiling, damnèd villain!" Act 1, scene 5.

[Aristus]

19. Or Richard III:

"Why, I can smile, and smile, and be a villain whilst I smile..."

[livetohike]

20. Perfection as usual

[Aristus]

21. Thank you, livetohike.
