	EMILIA
10	How goes it now? He looks gentler than he did.

How are things now? He looks calmer than he did before.

	DESDEMONA
	He says he will return incontinent,
	And hath commanded me to go to bed
	And bid me to dismiss you.

DESDEMONA

He says he'll come back right away. He asked me to go to bed and to send you away.

	EMILIA
	Dismiss me?

EMILIA

Send me away?

	DESDEMONA
	It was his bidding. Therefore, good Emilia,
15	Give me my nightly wearing, and adieu.
	We must not now displease him.

DESDEMONA

That's what he said. So give me my nightgown, Emilia, and I'll say goodnight. We shouldn't displease him.
