- 1 68 Notes [Act II
aside to Page, and giving information of the like plot against him.
When Pistol has finished, he calls out to Nym to come away; but
seeing that he and Page are still in close debate, he goes off alone,
first assuring Page that he may depend on the truth of Nym's story."
139. Drawling, affecting. The words are hyphened in the ist
folio. Affecting — affected ; as in R. and J. ii. 4. 29 : " affecting
fantasticoes." It is not an instance of the active participle used
passively, for it is really affected that is used peculiarly. An affected
person is one who is given to affecting or affectation.
142. A Cataian. A " heathen Chinee ;" from Cataia, or Cathay,
the name given to China by early travellers. Cf. T. N. ii. 3. 80,
where it is similarly used as a term of reproach.
177. Lie at the Garter. That is, lodge or reside there. Cf. ii. 2.
63 below. Lay in this sense occurs rather quaintly in Holinshed,
who says of Edward Balliol after his expulsion from Scotland,
"After this he went and laie a time with the Lady of Gines,
that was his kinswoman."
1 79. Voyage. Cf. Cymb. i. 4. 1 70 : " if you make your voyage
upon her," etc.
191. Cavalero-justice. Cf. ii. 3. 74 below : " Cavalero Slender ; "
and 2 Hen. LV. v. 3. 62 : " all the cavaleros about London." The
spelling in the early eds. is Cavaleiro, Cavalerio, etc. It is, of
course, a corruption of the Spanish caballero, cavalier.
192. Good even and twenty. A free-and-easy salutation = "good
evening, and twenty of 'em ! " Cf. Eliot, Fruits for the French,
1593 '• "Good night and a thousand to every body." See also
T. N. ii. 3. 52 : " sweet-and-twenty." " Good even " is a slip on
Shallow's part, as the time of the scene is evidently in the morn-
ing. Cf. 154 above, it being remembered that the dinner hour in
the time of S. was at noon.
205. Contrary places. That is, different places for meeting, as
the sequel shows.
210. Pottle. A large tankard ; originally a measure of two
quarts. Cf. iii. 5. 29 below.
