[...]cited are stage directions and dialogue from other plays: "Draw[s] out his Table-booke" (Love's Labours Lost), "Balurdo drawes out his writing tables, and writes" (Antonio's Revenge), "takes a Memorandum in his Table Book" (The Fair Example), "Write you that in your table books" (Apollo Shroving), "IT note that down in my Table-book" (The Citizen Turn'd Gentleman), and "Enter Tutch the Qowne, writing" (The History of the two Maids of More-clacke) - the last, Stallybrass et al. point out, indicating that "Tutch can walk and write at the same time", suggesting that "he is holding writing tables" (405).
