phrase to convey assent, try some of the following substitutes:
"Right willingly"
"Gladly will I do so"
"Aye, milord/milady"
"Certainly, your Grace/Excellency"
''Tis as good as done"
"'Twill be my pleasure"
"Most assuredly"
Shakespearian Word/Phrase of the Day:
Slipp'd the hour - late; past the appointed time
"'Tis full dark, and the Moon is up; we've slipp'd the hour of meeting."
