Shakespeare

Pretty cool, done by Becky of London. Story here.

Too bad about “baited” breath. But perhaps that’s the Navajo idea of including a flaw so you know it was done by hand. Still: made me wince.

UPDATE: Wait a minute! “Dead as a doornail”?! That’s Charles Dickens, I believe, from A Christmas Carol. I am now dubious of some of the others. — Oops. Just looked it up. Shakespeare did use it, but he wasn’t the first. See this article.
