Violante [distractedly]

Strange that he should so change in ten days' space.

[With passionate abandonment]

Old woman, go this instant—summon him!
I will abide your crabbed ways no longer.

Lizzia [stung to retaliation]

Lady, he would not look upon your face
If you made him ruler of the world for it.

Violante [flaming]

What new freak of his is this?
He is as full of moods as any woman....
But I had never thought—

[Determined]

I will go to him!
