Distinctions such as these, good Gélanor,
Though strangely unimportant in themselves,
Still have a value, which the female mind’s
Particularly quick to apprehend.
Now here’s a talisman—a crystal box—(producing it).
Whoever carries this within those walls
May overcome the castle’s influence,
And utter truth or falsehood as he wills.
I should do well, I think, to take this box?
Gélan. From all accounts, my lord, I think you would!
