    I think "raise a great hue and cry" predates our boy Leon and may be a Shakespear thing.

      Forms of the term "hue and cry" date from at least the 13th century and are first encountered in the Anglo-French legal documents of that period.

        See, cope and seethe is as old as the English language. It's a very important thing to say to someone.
