He is very busy about it. But, brother, I can tell you strange news that you yet dreamt not of. (LEONATO: Are they good?) As the event stamps them: but they have a good cover; they show well outward. The Prince and Count Claudio, walking in a thick-pleached alley in my orchard, were thus much overheard by a man of mine: the Prince discovered to Claudio that he loved my niece your daughter and meant to acknowledge it this night in a dance; and if he found her accordant, he meant to take the present time by the top and instantly break with you of it. (LEONATO: Hath the fellow any wit that told you this?) A good sharp fellow: I will send for him; and question him yourself.
