(To Mirza) Haven’t I offered love to you?

Mirza.You have.

Phan. And you despise me, don’t you?

Mirza.Heartily.

Phan. (to Altemire). I told you so, and she indorses it.

Believe me, I am bound to speak the truth!

Altem. (bitterly). I do believe you.

Phan. (taking her by the hand). Thank you, Altemire.

Altem. Stand off, don’t touch me, horrible old man!

You tell me you’ve made love to Mirza?
