POLONIUS
Get to Paris and give him this money and these notes. Have a

where they lodge. But only let on you have a distant

friends--right?
REYNALDO

When you mention him, say you've heard he can get a little

REYNALDO

POLONIUS
Yes, gambling, drinking, fencing--but play it lightly, as if
they're just flashes of a fiery mind.

Yes, my lord.
POLONIUS
Your indirections will find directions.
REYNALDO
Yes my lord.
POLONIUS
Very well then, go and observe.
REYNALDO
Yes my lord.
(He bows and exits. Ophelia enters
upset.)

POLONIUS
