You are too angry.
STALINO
You are saying so too soon. But whatever this is, tell it; relate in a few words what has been the disturbance in-doors.
PARDALISCA
You shall know.
Hear this most foul crime which just now in-doors at our house your female slave began to attempt after this fashion, a thing that does not befit the regulations lations of Attica.
STALINO
What is it?
PARDALISCA
Fever prevents the use of my tongue.
STALINO
What is it? Can I possibly learn from you what is the matter?
PARDALISCA
I’ll tell you. Your female slave, she whom you intend to give as a wife to your bailiff, in-doors she—
STALINO
In-doors what? What is it?
PARDALISCA
Is imitating the wicked practices of wicked women, in threatening her husband—
STALINO
What then?
PARDALISCA
Ah!
STALINO
What is it?
PARDALISCA
She says that she intends to take her husband’s life.
A sword—
STALINO
(starting.)
Hah!
PARDALISCA
A sword—
STALINO
What about that sword?
PARDALISCA
She has got one.
STALINO
Ah! wretch that I am! Why has she got it?
PARDALISCA
She is pursuing them all at home all over the house, and she won’t allow any person to approach her; and so, all, hiding in chests and under beds,
are mute with fear.
STALINO
I’m murdered and ruined outright! What malady is this that has so suddenly befallen her?
PARDALISCA
She is mad.
STALINO
I do think that I am the most unfortunate of men!
PARDALISCA
Aye, and if you were to know the speeches she uttered to-day.
STALINO
I long to know about what she said.
PARDALISCA
Listen.
By all the Gods and Goddesses she swore that she would murder the person with whom she should bed.
STALINO
Will she murder me?
