You must hand it to the Bard: he always finds the right words. Here is an excerpt from Act III of Midsummer-Night’s Dream, slightly brought up to date. Quince is the speaker:
“Then there is another thing: we must have a wall … Some man or other must present Wall: and let him have some plaster, or some loam, or some roughcut about him. And let him hold his fingers thus (just so) for Pyramus to whisper through that cranny and tell those on the other side how much they owe”.
