He got angry and pulled out his sword, well when he did, it lightly touched my tights, and slit them from my knee up on my left side. My tights fell open but I pulled my doublet down just in time. The Capulets just laughed until we left. I had walk through the streets holding my tights exposing my upper thigh, Ladies giggled, and women covered their children's eyes.
