Act III, Scene VII – Florence – The Widow's House
Helena/Joey and the Widow/Malik entered the stage, both appearing quite wound up.
"I am telling you the truth! I really am Bertram's wife!" exclaimed Helena/Joey, trying to convince the Widow/Malik.
"I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that," replied the Widow/Malik skeptically.
Exasperated, Helena/Joey said, "I do not know how else to assure you that I am telling the truth!"
"Fine. But I do not wish to get involved with your plan to win Bertram back," the Widow/Malik stated, her suspicion still clearly evident.
"Take this purse of gold coins in exchange for your help with additional payment when my plan is finished," Helena/Joey said, offering the Widow/Malik a purse of gold. "When Bertram comes around again, your daughter, Diana, should pretend to yield his advances and demand from him the ring he always wears on his finger. Since the ring is a family heirloom that has been handed down from one generation to another, Bertram will be reluctant to part with it, but he will eventually do so in order to win Diana. She should fix a time and place for a secret meeting between the two of them, and when Bertram arrives, I will take Diana's place in bed with Bertram."
"Oh! Now I see your purpose!" exclaimed the Widow/Malik. "You are quite the clever girl, aren't you? Not only will you save my daughter's virtue, but you will trick your husband into sleeping with you so that you can claim him as yours! Brilliant!"
Pleased with their plan, they left the stage, acting as if they were preparing to put the plan into motion.
