Scoring remains open! No correct answer submitted.
In recognition of the fact some of these may be HARD, hey, it may be that as weeks go by there could be 2 or 3 that languish in the backlog, as-yet-unsolved. I'll be sure to include in each weeks new post, a link to any unsolved puzzles that still sit there, "ripe for the taking!"
"My masters, are you mad? or what are you? Have ye no wit, manners, nor honesty, but to gabble like tinkers at this time of night? Do ye make an alehouse of my lady's house, that ye squeak out your coziers' catches without any mitigation or remorse of voice? Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you? [...] Sir Toby, I must be round with you. My lady bade me tell you, that, though she harbours you as her kinsman, she's nothing allied to your disorders. If you can separate yourself and your misdemeanors, you are welcome to the house; if not, an it would please you to take leave of her, she is very willing to bid you farewell."
Haha--I had to include the next part, because the first half didn't include the "Clear out my lady's house!" part. I knew exactly who and when it was, but had to search for a while to find the actual quote. But YAY I HAVE A POINT!

Edana is on the board! With considerably extra quotage on top, even.
We now have Lacrema in front and a two-way tie for 2nd, and Mel at 3rd!
#1 Lacrema: 2.9
#2 Edana: 1
#2 snortingmarmots: 1
#3 Mel: a bajillion!
Technically if there's a two-way tie for 2nd then the next place is 4th not third, but Mel jumps up a spot on pure awesome.

That Malvolio's distinctive pique carries through any amount of paraphrase! :-D
