Julio. No; to make returning to you, the strongest attraction to my life. Why are you silent?
Oliv. I am debating, whether to be pleased or displeased, at what you have said.
Julio. Well?
Oliv. You shall know when I have determined. My friend and yours are approaching this way, and they must not be interrupted.
Julio. 'Twould be barbarous—we'll retire as far off as you please.
Oliv. But we retire separately, sir; that lady is a woman of honour, and this moment of the greatest importance to her. You may, however, conduct me to the gate, on condition that you leave me instantly.
Julio. Leave her instantly—oh, then I know my cue.
