ACT II - Scene II Twelfth Night
A street.
| Enter Viola, Malvolio following. | |
| Malvolio | Were not you even now with the Countess Olivia? |
| Viola | Even now, sir; on a moderate pace I have since arrived but hither. |
| Malvolio | She returns this ring to you, sir: you might have saved me my pains, to have taken it away yourself. She adds, moreover, that you should put your lord into a desperate assurance she will none of him: and one thing more, that you be never so hardy to come again in his affairs, unless it be to report your lord’s taking of this. Receive it so. |
| Viola | She took the ring of me: I’ll none of it. |
| Malvolio | Come, sir, you peevishly threw it to her; and her will is, it should be so returned: if it be worth stooping for, there it lies in your eye; if not, be it his that finds it. Exit. |
| Viola |
I left no ring with her: what means this lady?
