Now the Duke ducked, the Doge dodged, and the Duchess didn't.

King: Duchess with her dirk? Hawkins: Yes! The Duchess dove at the Duke just when the Duke dove at the Doge. There they were in the dark the Duke with his dagger, the Doge with his dart, Duchess with her dirk. King: Who did what to what? Hawkins: Oh, they all did, sire.

When the Doge did his duty and the Duke didn't, that's when the Duchess did the dirt to the Duke with the Doge. King: What? What's that? Hawkins: Oh, it's very simple, sire. Eh, uh, when the Doge does his duty to the Duke, that is. Hawkins: Well, uh, the Doge did what the Doge does. Well what did the Doge do? Hawkins:The Doge do? King: Yes, the Doge do. And what about the Doge? Hawkins: Oh, the Doge! King: Eh. The first step of all wasn't hard to recall, 'cause the first step of all is to stand. The Spanish were clannish but I wouldn't vanish and learned every step they had planned. When I got to Spain it was suddenly plain that the field that appealed was the dance. I made a fool of myself!' Hawkins: I started to travel to try to unravel my mind and to find a new chance. But I'm proud to recall that in no time at all, with no other recourses but my own resources, with firm application and determination. No teacher to take me, to mold me and make me a merryman, fool or an elf. No butcher, no baker, no candlestick maker, and me with the look of a fine undertaker impressed her as a jester? But where was I to learn any comical turn? It was not in a book on a shelf. and cried, 'He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, *HE*! What else could he be but a jester?' A jester? A jester? A funny idea, a jester. My father he shouted, 'he needs to be clouted, his teeth on a wreath I'll hand him!' My mother she cried as she rushed to my side, 'You're a brute and you don't understand him!' So they sent for a witch with a terrible twitch to ask how my future impressed her. Hawkins: or this Hawkins: or this Hawkins: or this Hawkins. My friends and my family looked at me clammily, thought there was something amiss: when others found various antics hilarious all I could manage was this When other babes giggled and gurgled and wiggled, I proudly was loudly forlorn. Hubert Hawkins: I am prepared to make a statement: When I was a lad I was gloomy and sad as I was from the day I was born.
