A Room in LEONATO'S House. |
Enter LEONATO and ANTONIO, meeting. |
| Leon. How now, brother! Where is my cousin, your son? Hath he provided this music? |
| Ant. He is very busy about it. But, brother, I can tell you strange news that you yet dreamt not of. |
| Leon. Are they good? |
| Ant. As the event stamps them: but they have a good cover; they show well outward. The prince and Count Claudio, walking in a thick-pleached alley in my orchard, were thus much overheard by a man of mine: the prince discovered to Claudio that he loved my niece your daughter, and meant to acknowledge it this night in a dance; and, if he found her accordant, he meant to take the present time by the top and instantly break with you of it. |
| Leon. Hath the fellow any wit that told you this? |
| Ant. A good sharp fellow: I will send for him; and question him yourself. |
| Leon. No, no; we will hold it as a dream till it appear itself: but I will acquaint my daughter withal, that she may be the better prepared for an answer, if peradventure this be true.

Good cousin, have a care this busy time. [Exeunt. |
