If I'd been Verges I'd 'a'...I don't know what. But something quite uncomedic :)
"We would rather sleep than talk..."
"I do not know how that should offend."*
*Or words to that effect.
Dogberry was fun to read in Shakespeare class, and he doesn't appear in any scenes with Beatrice so I didn't have to choose between characters. Not that I always got to do Beatrice; we had about seven girls in the class and three female parts, maximum. Plus Mom taught and she didn't want to favor me. Or pair me with the only guy who was actually capable of reading Benedick's lines too often since I already had a crush on him ;-)
