In: Are you valorous?
Giov: Yes.
In: Don Giovanni (hiding her face), I love you!
Giov: My own, my beautiful one!
In: There is, however, one little difficulty about which, of course, you could have known nothing. Some years ago I foolishly took an oath. I swore I would be true to my husband during his life.
Giov: Well, but—let me see—yes, I did bring my sword with me. Suppose I were to step round and run him through the heart—if you don’t mind waiting?
In: I’m afraid it would be troubling you?
Giov: Not at all. Any little thing of that kind. So glad you mentioned it.
In: Thanks. I suppose you could not manage to bring it off within sight of the window?
