Nah, Desdemona, I know that E1 couldn't have married Dudley after Amy's fall. I'd just like to know if the fall was an accident or a set-up. As for her makin' whoopee while Queen, yes, it would have been awfully difficult, but before queenhood, not quite as hard to get away with a little dilly-dallying.

As for Shakespeare's authorship, I've read -- and it's on excellent authority indeed -- and believe, that the plays and sonnets attributed to William Shakespeare were not written by William Shakespeare, but by someone else with the same name!
