Lucio. As any in Vienna, on my word.

Escal. Call that same Isabel here once again: I would speak with her. [Exit an Attendant.] Pray you, my lord, 270 give me leave to question; you shall see how I’ll handle her.

Lucio. Not better than he, by her own report.

Escal. Say you?

Lucio. Marry, sir, I think, if you handled her privately, V. 1
275 she [would] sooner confess: perchance, publicly, [she’ll] be ashamed.

Escal. I will go darkly to work with her.

Lucio. That’s the way; for women are light at midnight.

[Re-enter Officers with Isabella; and Provost with the Duke in his friar’s habit.]
