Chapter 10

Katherine crossed to the center of the newly constructed stage and stopped. Turning to gaze at a distant point, she began to speak.:

I guess I loved him best of all, for he

Gave of his love most sparingly to me.

We women have, if I am not to lie,

In this love matter, a quaint fantasy;

Look out a thing we may not lightly have,

And after that we’ll cry all day and crave.

For but a thing, and that thing covet we;

Press hard upon us, then we turn and flee.

Sparingly offer we our goods, when fair,

Great crowds at market make for dearer ware,

And what’s too common brings but little price;

All this knows every woman who is wise.
