Lucia: Parthenope and Sarina. I am quite exhausted! So much is happening. I just hope Niccolo returns to scoop me up for the next dance!
(that was great fun to do!)
Bianca: Hello Lucia, I hope my memory of the secret code wasn’t too bad… such a long time since I used it! Glad to be back, though, and thank you for inviting me!
Lucia: Gloves and fans are a nuisance. I prefer the touch of real skin and a fan is only good for secreting a stiletto!
Parthenope: I vow such party games put me too much in mind of schoolwork. My poor wits cannot withstand such a strain, and still remember the dances. This fan code was all the go in my youth, as I recall. I’m delighted to see the current ton taking it up.
Lucia: Parthenope, you are such a rebel, I can’t believe that a code would mean a thing. Have you seen Niccolo?
Parthenope: Not that I ever need a code to convey my thoughts to a young man, mind you. I erred on the side of frankness, if anything.
Sarina (laughing): Parthenope. How can you say so? I have always known you to be so circumspect. I have, on occasion, been concerned that your opinions would not get a proper airing.
Parthenope: Ooooh, Sarina, trust me for that! My talk and my behavior vary a good deal. I talk a good game, as the rakes say, but at heart, I’m a retiring flower.
