So, as I said in my last blog (forever ago…I really need to get better at this—it comes down to just writing it out in the end after all), here’s a bit about Shakespeare and tennis:

Interestingly enough, Wikipedia just talked about modern tennis. So instead I refer to the Medieval Fair episode of Arthur where Muffy goes on to play tennis but then leaves once she learns they will play authentically—with wooden racquets and a ball that (dare I say it?) really does resemble a “gunstone.”
In addition to this, here is what was posted about this episode on http://scribblingsofjo.blogspot.com/ :
"Muffy loses a tennis match to her double. AND gets her heritage dissed. Turns out that Other Braid Girl is related to Henry V, a sore spot to Muffy because her family is a first generation of social climbers with no blue blood at all. Ouch, girl!"
Funny how, as a kid, I never caught on to that. Who'd have thought that I'd discover Muffy's doppelganger was related to Henry V after I read Henry V???
