+Don P.+ [_Starting._] Ha! Don Julio's, say'st thou?-- [_He pauses._ But, now I think on't, 'tis no marvel, Fulvio, Since newly come to town; for I remember Don Julio told me, that Don Zancho and he Had always liv'd in friendly correspondence. +Fulv.+ Visits, sir, only of fair civility, After long absence, are not usually Begun by twilight in such cautious manner; Nor usher'd in by female veil'd conductors. But pray, sir, hear the rest. +Don P.+ What can this be? [_Aside._] Say on then quickly. [_To +Fulvio+._ +Fulv.+ I presently concluded with myself That, since Don Julio was the friend on whose Assistance you relied against Don Zancho, You ne'er would think, sir, of attacking him, As he came out from thence: I judg'd it, therefore, My wisest course to stay, and mark the issue. And stay I did, till it was after midnight; About which time, walking from side to side, That I might see both issues of the house, It being as light almost as day, I saw The gallant and his man leap from the wall Of Julio's garden, and from thence in haste Make home. +Don P.+ 'Sdeath, man, thou dream'st! Don Zancho from Don Julio's In that manner? Awake, fool, and speak sense. +Fulv.+ I say but what I saw, as I see you. +Don P.+ O, the devil! what, the same villain Found the affronter of my friend too here In the same kind! Give me my cloak and sword, I must know the bottom of this. [_Exeunt._ _Enter +Blanca+ and +Francisca+, as in her antechamber._ +Blan.+ I come from seeing and caressing Silvia; But with most strange surprise at her comportment Towards me. +Fran.+ How, madam! +Blan.+ My words and actions both expressing to her, Not only highest gratitude and kindness, But a solicitude in the concerns Of her honour, equal to what she had shown In mine, they were receiv'd with such a coldness, With such an air of melancholy pride, With half replies, and those not half to th' purpose, As make me with amazement to conclude, That either she has lost her understanding, Or that there's somewhat in't we understand not. +Fran.+ She is a maid of an odd composition; And besides that, I needs must tell you, madam, That having had my observation freer Than you, perhaps, during last night's adventure, I remark'd somewhat, both in her demeanour And in Don Zancho's, makes me confident They met not there strangers to one another, As you imagine. But there's time enough To think and talk of that: what presses now, Is your right ordering of Don Julio: You have begun as well as can be wish'd. +Blan.+ Say, did I not do my part? [_Jollily._
