Does that bear reference to yourself in any way?
STALINO
Pshaw!
PARDALISCA
What business have you with her?
STALINO
I made a mistake; him, the bailiff, I meant to say.
PARDALISCA
It’s on purpose[*] that you are turning aside from the high road into bye-paths.
STALINO
Does she threaten anything against myself?
PARDALISCA
She is hostile to you individually more than any person.
STALINO
For what reason?
PARDALISCA
Because you have given her as a wife to Olympio; she says that she’ll neither suffer your life, nor her own, nor that of her husband,
to be prolonged until the morrow. I have been sent hither to tell you this, that you might beware of her.
STALINO
(aside.)
By my troth, to my misery I’m quite undone!
There neither is nor ever was any old man in love so wretched as I.
PARDALISCA
(aside, to the AUDIENCE.)
Don’t I play him off cleverly? For everything that I’ve been telling him as taking place, I’ve been telling him falsely. My mistress and she who lives next door have concocted this scheme. I’ve been sent to fool him.
STALINO
Hark you, Pardalisca!
PARDALISCA
What is it?
STALINO
There is —
PARDALISCA
What?
STALINO
There is something that I want to enquire of you about.
PARDALISCA
You are causing me delay.
STALINO
Why, you are causing me sorrow. But has Casina got that sword even still?
PARDALISCA
She has; but two of them.
STALINO
Why two?
PARDALISCA
She says that this very day she’ll murder you with the one, the bailiff with the other.
STALINO
I am now the most utterly murdered of all people that do exist.
I’ll put on me a coat of mail; I think that’s the best. What did my wife do? Didn’t she go and take them away from her?
PARDALISCA
No person dares go near her.
STALINO
She should have prevailed on her.
PARDALISCA
She is entreating her. She declares that assuredly she will lay them down on no other terms, unless she understands that she shall not be given to the bailiff.
STALINO
But whether she likes it or no, because she refuses, she shall marry him this day. For why shouldn’t I carry this out that I’ve begun, for her to marry me?—that, indeed, I didn’t intend to say—but, our bailiff?
PARDALISCA
You’re making your mistakes pretty often.
