Mario. No. Maddalena is also there.
Paolo. Oh, as far as that's concerned—[Calls.] Anna—Anna!
Mario. You are very ungrateful.
Paolo. If she loved me it did not come hard for her to repulse him. If she loved him, I owe her no gratitude.
Anna [entering]. Did you call me?
[Mario starts to exit.]
Paolo. No, no. Remain. Yes, Anna. I wanted to ask you something. Whatever you say, I shall believe you.
Anna. Of that I am certain.
Paolo. Was it you who begged Mario to come with us? Not to-day I don't mean.
Anna. Neither to-day nor before.
