Angrily talking to yourself alone:

This letter in your hand—What is it, sir?

Luis. Nothing, nothing, Porcia; (for Juan’s sake

I must dissemble)—Nay, I have received

A letter upon business that annoys me.

Por. I’m sorry, sir, for that, for I had come

To ask a favour of you.

Luis. Well, why not?

Por. They say that those who ask unseasonably

Must be content with a refusal.
