For as for you, I’m well enough assur’d,

No fault can make you worse.

Sostra. But prithee, husband,

How can you tell that her aversion to me

Is not a mere pretense, that she may stay

The longer with her mother?

Lach. No such thing.

Was not your visit yesterday a proof,

From their denial to admit you to her?

Sostra. They said she was so sick she could not see me.
