Here's a "Do We Have This?" question:
Do we have a trope for hiding behind a drape to avoid being seen?
The Ur example is of course Polonius hiding behind the arras in Hamlet (which he fails at, and gets stabbed for his effort), but I'm sure people can think of many more modern examples.
I'm pretty sure we don't have it, as we don't have any page with both the words "Hamlet" and "arras" on them, and the trope would be unthinkable without that example. But I want to confirm it before I add it to my long list of tropes to draft.
