Agree that Elton is Bottom Written by Joan Ellen (4/5/2008 8:11 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Omitted from the Hartfied edition, penned by Tarn

and Emma is Titania -- though not in love with him herself, she can't see him for the ass he is, and thinks him a good match for her friend! I think here she is Puck too, having thrown the flower dust in her own eyes (Love-in-idleness!).

"It is such a pretty charade, my dear, that I can easily guess what fairy brought it. Nobody could have written so prettily, but you, Emma."
