GALLICANUS. Her answer.
CONSTANTINE. My daughter’s answer?
GALLICANUS. Yes. What did she say?
CONSTANTINE. It is unreasonable to expect a young maid to answer in so many words. Events will prove that she consents.
GALLICANUS. If I could be assured of that, I should trouble little about the manner of her answer.
CONSTANTINE. You want proof?
GALLICANUS. I hunger for it.
CONSTANTINE. Then listen. She has given orders that her Almoners, John and Paul, shall stay with you until the day of your nuptials.
GALLICANUS. And her reason?
CONSTANTINE. That by constant intercourse with them you may learn to know how she lives—her habits and her tastes.
