I like the new tire within excellently, if the hair were a
thought browner; and your gown’s a most rare fashion,
i'
faith. I saw the Duchess of Milan’s gown that they
praise so.

MARGARET
I like your new wig and headdress, though I’d like it
more if the hair were a shade browner. And your gown is really
stylish. You know, I saw the Duchess of Milan’s gown, the
one that everyone praises so highly.
