How could you hear her laugh and not laugh back? Crowley did. "Yeah, well, I did have to get up in 1832 to use the loo..." He grinned. "But I like sleeping. It's one of the pleasures of the world. I just did it because I could. And I thought that century was going to be bloody boring. Like the fourteenth. Guess I was wrong. But I deserved a break after the French Revolution anyway."
Crowley shook his head slightly. "Romeo and Juliet is complete rubbish. I hope Adam was MacDuff, though, and not MacBeth or we're all screwed. Dare I ask who played Lady MacBeth?" He somehow doubted it had been Pepper. Although she was probably one of the few powerful female figures in theatre.
"What kind of sword? I don't know. Whatever I could get and was pointy. You can bet that Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan didn't mess about with kinds of swords. They used whatever kept them alive. That's how real fighting works." He had a bit too much experience with that, really. Although he tended to prefer being apparently unarmed. No one expected claws.
"Ah, so it's to be blackmail, is it? I knew I should keep an eye on you. Well, you've got me, so I might as well confess. I picked up the Spagnoletta during the Renaissance. da Vinci was fond of that one. Tried up the Chaconne, the Tambourin, and the Gavotte in the French Court in the seventeenth century. I learned the Quadrille during the Regency, took my little nap, and when I woke up, I needed to learn the Waltz. It was a short step to Swing in the 30's and I gave it all up when the Twist came around. But turn about is fair play, right? Now you have to confess a secret..."
