Twelfth Night, Act 2 sns. 4-5

Scene 4
Viola/Cesario is called into the Duke's presence to listen to a song with him. She expresses her love for him in a story about her fake sister. He gets lost, however, in wanting Olivia.

Scene 5
Maria, Sir Toby, and Sir Andrew forged a letter to look like Olivia wrote it. They laid it in the path where Mavolio was very likely to see it, and hid to watch and wait. Not long after, Mavolio comes along and picks up the letter. It tells him that Lady Olivia loves him, and that to show he loves her, he needs to go around with yellow stockings, cross-gartered, and smiling. In a speech, he praises his stars and Jove for this, and thinks the letter is real. 

More soon!
