Was ever woman in this humor wooed?

I am loving all the Shakespeare refs threaded through the Vorkosigan Saga - the obsessive return to Richard III is, in particular, a very deft touch.

And - knowing Bujold's background, I'm willing to lay money that Cordelia's thought, right at the end of Cordelia's Honor, that "let me help" rhymes with "I love you" is a ref to "City on the Edge of Forever." Which had me grinning like a mad thing.
