"Was to have been?" A frightened look came into her face.
"It will not be, now. Your home is not in this house."
Again she shook her head, turning her face away.
"It must be," she said.
Orsino was surprised beyond expression by the answer.
"Either you do not know what you are saying, or you do not mean it, dear," he said. "Or else you will not understand me."
"I understand you too well."
Orsino made her stop and took both her hands, looking down into her eyes.
"You will marry me," he said.
"I cannot marry you," she answered.
