Throw something over your head...
Hello, there~!
In a novel, I found this expression and I have no idea.
A young man love a girl and proposed her but refused. The mysterious girl asked him to get her the big money. 1910s America, in a barren Inn in a deadly winter, some people gethered with mysterious purpose like Agasa Christi's mystery novel.
So, he want to give her some information about the money, like this,
He went out through the open window and in another moment stood just outside Miss Norton's room. She put a startled head out at his knock. "Oh, it's you," she said. "I can't invite you in. You might learn terrible secrets of the dressing-table mamma is bedecking herself for dinner. Has anything happened?"
"Throw something over your head, Juliet," smiled Magee, "the balcony is waiting for you." She was at his side in a moment, and they walked briskly along the shadowy white floor. "I know who has the moeny,.."
"Throw something over your head, Juliet", I don't know this expression, and it seems Romio and Juliet doesn't have this expression. Maybe the writer want to give humorous expression.
Help me~!

They're going out on the balcony. That's
why he jokingly calls her Juliet.
(The balcony scene in the play is when Romeo
declares his love to Juliet.
