Hastings
Oh, I give you my word.
Captain In any event, I don't relish lingering here any longer to listen to this insulting discourse. I leave the battle field to the lady. I will return as soon as she leaves.
Hastings No one can stop her from talking. You have to put up with her difficult nature.
Captain For a while, sir, permit me to leave you. I will return to finish my visit.
(Exit Captain)
Urania (pursuing him part way) Don't think to escape me. I know your plans. You may try to tear him from my arms, but I swear I will marry him, in spite of the daughter, the father, the relations, the whole family—in spite of him, and in spite of myself, too.
(Exit Urania after the Captain)
Hastings What vertigo disturbs her and brings her here? As she gets older, her head seems to get more and more disturbed.
Flavella
It's true. I'm very often ashamed for her.
Hastings I am afraid that this woman, with her unaccountable temper may come here and cause some misfortune.
