Act Three

The Play's the Thing

Thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.

William Shakespeare

Chapter Seventeen

" 'To be or not to be that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous '"

"Oh, shut up, why don't you!"

Cluny rubbed at his abused skull Clancy was forever whacking him across the back of his head, and to great effect and subsided into his allotted space behind the drapes in the window seat. "I was just putting forth a question, that's all. Jack must be wondering the same thing himself."

As Jack had just been slung the outrageous fortune of yet another of Merry's verbal slings and arrows before she had flounced out of the room, that is the question was perhaps not quite as misplaced as Clancy's reaction considered it. But, then, Clancy had been woefully out of sorts these past weeks, watching his dearest Jack meet with failure after failure, frustration after frustration.

First Jack had been stern with Merry, which had been as effective as Cluny had so inelegantly pointed out as spitting into the wind.

Then Jack had been kind. And as Clancy had remarked approvingly at the time, " 'This is a way to kill a wife with kindness.' "

Except that Merry didn't seem to do too well with kindness, either. She had, both ghosts had at last

conceded, quite a nasty way of flinging kindness straight back in one's face. Twice as hard as it had been launched, in fact.

"He hasn't made a right step since he got back here, you know," Clancy said, sighing. "Your Merry has him all at sixes and sevens." He poked his head out through the draperies as a new sound disturbed him. "Uh-oh, here comes the savage. Perhaps we can gain some help from that quarter?"
