"You want to marry my girl? Wonders shall never cease... Well, what can I say, I'd be delighted to have you as son-in-law, and I can think of no wife who would love you more truly and disinterestedly."

"Good! Then it's settled!"

"Don't go so fast", rejoins Matius, "What are your plans about Cleopatra?"

Caesar was taken aback for a moment.

"I can't marry her, you know that!"

"Of course not, but do you mean to keep her here, and to keep visiting her? The whole city gossips about how you can't keep your hands off her in full view of everyone."
