When Isabel returned from her interview with Angelo, to the house of Mariana, where the duke had appointed her to meet him, he said: “Well met, and in good time; what is the news from this good deputy?” Isabel related the manner in which she had settled the affair. “Angelo,” said she “has a garden surrounded with a brick wall, on the western side of which is a vineyard, and to that vineyard is a gate.” And then she showed to the duke and Mariana two keys that Angelo had given her; and she said: “This bigger key opens the vineyard gate; this other a little door which leads from the vineyard to the garden. There I have made my promise at the dead of the night to call upon him, and have got from him his word of assurance for my brother’s life. I have taken a due and wary note of the place; and with whispering and most guilty diligence he showed me the way twice over.”—”Are there no other tokens agreed upon between you, that Mariana must observe?” said the duke. “No, none,” said Isabel, “only to go when it is dark. I have told him my time can be but short; for I have made him think a servant comes along with me, and that this servant is persuaded I come about my brother.” The duke commended her discreet management, and she, turning to Mariana, said: “Little have you to say to Angelo, when you depart from him, but soft and low: Remember now my brother!”
