Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Bell:

How many children did Lady Macbeth have? And why did you make her such a scary lady? Was your mommy scary?

Answer:

"A gross hag!
And, lozel, thou art worthy to be hang'd,
That wilt not stay her tongue."

(Winter's Tale 2.3.109-111)

Interpretation:

This is the second week in a row that you're making this easy for me. Are you starting to doubt my powers of interpretation? (Although you're skirting the kids question.)

p.s. Who are you calling a "lozel"?
