 * "If you will then see the fruits of the sport, mark
 * his first approach before my lady: he will come to
 * her in yellow stockings, and 'tis a colour she
 * abhors, and cross-gartered, a fashion she detests;
 * and he will smile upon her, which will now be so
 * unsuitable to her disposition, being addicted to a
 * melancholy as she is, that it cannot but turn him
 * into a notable contempt. If you will see it, follow
 * me."-Twelfth Night (Act 2, Scene 5)
