Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

I think we definitely need the scene where they meet, now having read each others poems.

Hmmm...!

I started out imagining this as a sort of "Much Ado About Nothing" scene (at least, in the Emma Thompson movie version, which is all I've seen!) with Beatrice and Benedick, when Hero and Claudio each insist on revealing the love letters/poems that the two battling lovers have written to each other but never admitted to out loud, and Beatrice and Benedick each get a chance to read what the other has written, to the amusement of their watching friends and family.

I'm so glad you enjoyed, and I'll see if I can come up with one more chapter, at some point, to show them getting their verbal and non-verbal communication straight.
