Prologue 28
Desdemona walked in on
her father in the Library. She was very upset and cared not if her father was
pre-occupied there. He was actually with the person who was the focus of her
anger.
"How dare you be
here?" Desdemona glared at the man who was seated there. Cassio shot to
his feet and approached her. She side stepped him and stood by her father.
"He leaves or I
will." Desdemona told her father. Brabatio was surprised and shrugged his
shoulders. He smiled and exit from the Library leaving the two there. He was
used to his daughter barging in and would not sit in for another one.
"Desdemona, I was
way out of line." Cassio explained himself. "I like you but I do want
to protect you. I knew..."
"You are crossing
your boundary. I am a grown lady. And could make up my own mind."
Desdemona was upset. "More to it, he was your Legatus."
"Exactly my point.
I knew him. And ...." Cassio was spluttering out his sentences, but
Desdemona replied faster.
"You accused me of
adultery." Desdemona told him.
"Claudia accused
you. I happened to be there and tried to caution you." Cassio replied.
"I also knew Othello. They were a pair."
"And he had broken
off with her. He told me." Desdemona told him what she knew.
"That was what I
was indicating. Othello had some friends which he hardly keep them longer than
a period." Cassio explained. "He garner their sympathy for his
wounds."
