Dribbles, Drabbles and other Flights of Fancy

by RobinLea

A series of what ifs or maybes, each under 500 words. Each is independent from the others, genres will change, characters come & go. Some for fun & humor others dive deep in the angst rabbit hole. Can not promise not to kill off characters but will promise every one keeps there clothes on. No particular order other than the author's fancy. Might be an occasional anachronism.

10. All hail Sakespeare

Mr. Darcy, I would know Lord Benedick in any guise. I do hope your friend is more constant than Count Claudio for my sister is as sweet as poor innocent slain Hero.

''Well, you are a rare parrot-teacher, Miss Elizabeth."

''Men were deceivers ever and I would not see her heart hurt, Mr. Darcy."

"Her heart is engaged then?"

"You may look at me with scorn Mr. Darcy but do not doubt my sister's regard for your friend. Need I tell her that his is not worthy?"

"Look at you? with scorn, Miss Elizabeth? I think perhaps you do not know me after all but should."

All hail Shakespeare. As other have noted before me Beatrice and Benedick from "Much ado about Nothing" are the alter egos of Elizabeth and Darcy.
