MARINELLI.
Your letter? But--yes. I remember he mentioned that he had received one.
ORSINA.
Well? Did I not in that letter request he would meet me here to-day? I own he did not think proper to return a written answer; but I learnt that an hour afterwards he drove from town to Dosalo. This I thought a sufficient answer, and therefore I have come.
MARINELLI.
A strange accident!
ORSINA.
Accident! It was an agreement--at least as good as an agreement. On my part, the letter--on his, the deed. How you stand staring, Marquis! What surprises you?
MARINELLI.
You seemed resolved yesterday never to appear before the Prince again.
