Am I a lunatic?

ODOARDO (wildly pacing the apartment).

Oh!--nor as yet am I.

CLAUDIA.

ODOARDO.

What do you mean? Am I not calm? Who can be calmer than I? (Putting restraint upon himself.) Does Emilia know that Appiani is dead?

CLAUDIA.

She cannot know it, but I fear that she suspects it, because he does not appear.
