"LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST (Act II. Scene 1.).
"It is odd that Shakspeare should make Dumain inquire after Rosaline,
who was the mistress of Biron, and neglect Katharine, who was his own.
Biron behaves in the same manner.--Perhaps _all_ the ladies wore
masks.--STEEVENS.
"They certainly did."--MALONE.
"And what if they did?"--QUERY.
In what possible way can the circumstance of the ladies _wearing masks_
lessen the inconsistency pointed out by Steevens?
