(Bows ironically.) “Must” to me! And “must” again! My gracious Lady Lucia forgets——
Lucia
Nothing. She remembers that her husband, first of all, is proud, as I have already warned you. He does not yet know that I have been to see you—you, of all men in the world.
Medici
(Frowning.) When you say “proud” you mean, I take it, jealous.
Lucia
I mean both. (Manner changing.) Oh, Prince, you promised—I have your word that you would be guided in this by me.
