KING COPHETUA All that is long ago, and I am Bawn Cardew, who was Bawn Devereux.

We have a boy, dark and fine, like Anthony, and a girl who resembles me.

I am still in a bewilderment as to why Anthony should have chosen me.

I believe there is no woman, gentle or simple, who comes in contact with him, from my grandmother down to Katty McCann, the beggar-woman, who is not in love with him.

His way with women is always beautiful.
