Excerpt from book: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. ACT I. SCENE I. P. 188. In the stage-direction at the opening of the scene the manuscript-corrector of the folio, 1632, has expunged the words Innogen, his wife, as if the practice had not then been for her to appear before the audience in this or in any other portion of the comedy; and it is certain that no word ever escapes from her in the dialogue. It has been supposed by some that, though merely a mute, she was seen by the spectators, but in what way she was to be known to them to be the mother of Hero and the wife of Leonato is not stated. Another change in the same stage-direction merits notice: it is that the word Messenger is converted into Gentleman, and the manner in which he joins in the conversation shows, that he must have been a person superior in rank to what we now understand by a messenger.

The allusion can hardly be to Adam Bell, because it is William of Cloudesley who, in the ballad, isthe principal archer, and who cleaves the apple on his son's head. P. 197. There is certainly a misprint in the second line of Don Pedro's speech, where he is adverting to Claudio's reas...
