Marquis. A strange fellow this—How my heart beats!

Enter JEROME with a grin on his face.

Jerome. Noble Lord, Don Antonio will be here immediately. ( Then laughs and stares at him from head to foot. ) Here he is.

Enter ANTONIO.

( The Marquis bows very respectfully whilst Jerome is laughing and making faces behind. )

Marquis. Letters, my Lord, from your brother at Madrid.

Antonio. Signior. ( Taking the letters. )
