Act III, Scene iii

Continued

Enter FLORIO.

Florio: Father, what did she say? Did you call me?
Friar: Where is Lord Soranzo?
Florio: Downstairs, Father.
Friar: Have you told him all?
Florio: I have. He is awaiting news.
Friar: Bring him here, for I have something special for thee.
Florio: Truly father?

FLORIO looks ecstatic.



Friar:Deliver him here.
Florio: Daughter...
Annabella: Yes, father?
Florio: ...Are you... acquiescing, finally?

ANNABELLA looks to THE FRIAR, who nods her/his head encouragingly, and then to FLORIO with hesitancy and anxiousness.

Friar: Don’t thank me, your highness. Thank this child here for overcoming her sinful ways and embracing the Lord All Mighty, her savior!
Florio: Of course! Later!

FLORIO abruptly exits to retrieve SORANZO.

Marry, You Two, Marry!

FRIAR:

THE GIRL HAS CHANGED HER WAYS
REPENTING ON THIS DAY

SORANZO:
Is it true?

FRIAR:
YOU DON'T NEED TO ASK ONE MORE TIME
FOR ANNABELLA IS THINE

SO MARRY,
YOU TWO,
MARRY

GO TO THE HIGH TOWER
AND
CONSUMATE,
CONSUMATE,

ON THIS BLESS-SED DAY!

Soranzo: You’ve changed your mind, mistress?
Annabella: (unconvincing) I have...
