Martha, Shakespeare and others in “The Shakespeare Code”

[in the asylum] Do you honestly think this place is any good?

I've been mad. I've lost my mind. Fear of this place set me right again. It serves its purpose.

Mad in what way?

You lost your son.

My only boy. The Black Death took him. I wasn't even there.

I didn't know, I'm sorry.

It made me question everything. The futility of this fleeting existence. To be or not to be... Ooh. That's quite good.

You should write that down.

Hmm, maybe not. Bit pretentious?

Meh...
