MALVOLIO

          And then to have the humour of state; and after a demure travel of regard,
          telling them I know my [50] place, as I would they should do theirs, to ask for
          my kinsman Toby.



              SIR TOBY
          Bolts and shackles!



              FABIAN

          O peace, peace, peace! Now, now!


              MALVOLIO

          Seven of my people, with an obedient start, [55] make out for him. I frown
          the while, and perchance wind up my watch, or play with my (Touching his
          chain) − some rich jewel. Toby approaches; curtsies there to me−



              SIR TOBY
          Shall this fellow live? [60]



              FABIAN
          Though our silence be drawn from us with cars, yet peace!



              MALVOLIO
          I extend my hand to him thus, quenching my familiar smile with a austere

          regard of control−



              SIR TOBY
          And does not Toby take you a blow o’ the lips [65] then?



              MALVOLIO
          Saying, ‘Cousin Toby, my fortunes having cast me on your niece give me this
          prerogative of speech’−



              SIR TOBY
          What, what?



              MALVOLIO
