Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

My daughter just told me that there's a dog called the Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle. I looked it up: This was a breed of teeny tiny dogs that Bess used to set loose at dinner parties to cavort around the guests' dishes.

So, what we want to know is: "If you were a Pocket Beagle, where would you want to cavort?"

Answer:

"Good night. Get thee to bed and rest, for thou hast need." (Romeo and Juliet 4.3.13)

Interpretation:

Oh, Shake-Ball, really? Juliet's bed? You are a dog.
