Arabella Hey! Here you both are— You don't see what's going on here because you're wrapped up in your somber mood.
Desmond
My emotion is well justified.
Arabella
You are angry to see me laugh, and I am laughing to see you angry.
Desmond
Is this a way to talk of love?
Arabella
As for love—will yours always be so afflicted?
Desmond
If I had less refinement—
Arabella
You would be more reasonable.
Desmond
Is there anything more reasonable than my complaints?
Arabella Oh, your exaggerations are always full of reason. But they don't make you happy.
Desmond
What a conversation. Alas—how different your character is from mine.
