[A guard platform at Elsinore Castle, Denmark.]

Marcellus:

What, has this thing appeared again tonight?

Barnardo:

I have seen nothing.

Marcellus:

Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight twice seen of us.
Therefore I have entreated him along
With us to watch the minutes of this night,
That if again this apparition come
He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
...

Barnardo:

Last night of all,
When yon same star that's westward from the pole
Had made his course t'illume that part of heaven
Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
The bell then beating one —

[Enter the Ghost.]

Marcellus:

Peace, break thee off. Look where it comes again.

Barnardo:

In the same figure like the King that's dead.

Marcellus [to Horatio]:

Thou art a scholar — speak to it, Horatio.

William Shakespeare
Hamlet, 1.1.19-27 & 33-40

At Troynovant we are more interested in excellent or distinctive work than the merely timely or fashionable. Quality is always in season, and often more topical and entertaining than currency or fashion admit. Thus, we aim to refer and amuse, rather than to announce and forget. We avoid spoiling surprises in reviews that recommend; other works take their chances.
