Act Two
(Then enter the courtesan and the maidservant.)
Courtesan—And then? And then?
Maidservant—Goodness, I didn't say anything! Why “and then, and then”?
Courtesan—Handmaid! What was I saying?
Maidservant—Mistress! Affection asks, not fault-finding. What are you thinking of?
Courtesan—Handmaid! What do you suspect?
Maidservant—I suspect that, disregarding the nature of a courtesan, my mistress loves someone.
