She touched the imperious fantastic humour of the character with nicety. Her fine spacious person filled the scene. The part of Malvolio has in my judgment been so often misunderstood, and the general merits of the actor, who then played it, so unduly appreciated, that I shall hope for pardon, if I am a little prolix upon these points.
And from Humming-Bird to Eagle, the daily existence of every bird is a remote and bewitching mystery. Pythagoras has been charged, both before and since the days of Malvolio, with holding that "the soul of our grandam might haply inhabit a fowl," that delinquent men must revisit earth as women, and delinquent women as birds.
A "painful" speller you surely were, my gay Don Juan Underbill, as your pedantic "writtingse" all show, and the most dramatic and comic figure among all the early Puritans as well, though you scarcely deserve to be called a Puritan; we might rather say of you, as of Malvolio, "The devil a Puritan that he was, or anything constantly but a time-pleaser ... his ground of faith that all who looked on him loved him."
Malvolio would walk mincingly in the sunshine there; Autolycus would filch purses. Sir Andrew Aguecheek and Sir Toby Belch would be eternal boon companions. And as Falstaff sets out homeward from the tavern, the portly knight leading the revellers like a three-decker a line of frigates, they are encountered by Dogberry, who summons them to stand and answer to the watch as they are honest men.
He might have said with Malvolio, "I do not now fool myself, to let imagination jade me!" I am actually in the land of military and romantic adventures, and it only remains to be seen what will be my own share in them. The whole circumstances now detailed concerning the state of the country seemed equally novel and extraordinary.
I suppose she was ambitious, and rich enough for the enterprise. At this time I was "in standing water," as Malvolio says of Viola when she is dressed as a boy. I was neither child nor woman a long-legged girl of about thirteen, still in short skirts, and feeling that I ought to have long ones. However, when I set out with father to see Madam de Rhona, I was very smart.
O! shake not the castles of his pride endure yet for a season bright moments of confidence "stand still ye watches of the element," that Malvolio may be still in fancy fair Olivia's lord but fate and retribution say no I hear the mischievous titter of Maria the witty taunts of Sir Toby the still more insupportable triumph of the foolish knight the counterfeit Sir Topas is unmasked and "thus the whirligig of time," as the true clown hath it, "brings in his revenges."
Osbaldistone here being a prudent youth, and a safe friend I'se plainly tell ye, ye are breeding up your family to gang an ill gate." Then, clearing his voice with a preliminary hem, he addressed his kinsman, checking, as Malvolio proposed to do when seated in his state, his familiar smile with an austere regard of control.
Malvolio thought nobly of the soul, and in no way approved his opinion; but I remember that Harriet Rohan, in her school-days, accepted this, her destiny, with glee.
If, in view of all the circumstances, he dressed better than ever, and gave his little dinners more frequently, while happiness toned down the sharpness of his handsome profile to a softer line, he had little in common with Malvolio. And what he had began to drop away from him.
