CONFUSION!
THE EXCELLENT WOODFORDS. In many Elizabethan plays the plot turns on mistakes in identity. Twins are confused with one another, and get punished for each other’s faults. But no confusion of this kind could outdo the real confusion caused by the fact that the Admiralty drafted two sailors named Woodford to H.M.S. Excellent.
Matters grew worse when both joined the ship’s football team. Then came the crowning coincidence. One Saturday they played in a match, and one of the Woodfords got his leg broken. The next Saturday the same thing happened to the other!
