Meaning and analysis
Kwize Master
Julia asks her waiting woman Lucetta what she thinks of the men who court her. Lucetta replies that, according to her, the one who has the strongest feelings for her is Proteus, but Julia retorts that he doesn't show it. Thus Julia considers that there is no love without a demonstration of love, an assertion Lucetta strongly disagrees with.
