Sir Eglamour waits for Silvia at Friar Patrick’s cell. He is confident that she won’t be late: If anything, he expects her, as a true lover, to arrive early. Silvia arrives wearing a mask. She urges Sir Eglamour to hurry, saying that she thinks she was followed. Eglamour reassures her that they are only three leagues (nine miles) from the forest, where they will be safe. The pair exits.
Proteus tells Thurio that Silvia is more willing to marry him than before, but that she finds faults with some aspects of his person. Proteus lists these faults—his legs are too “skinny,” he talks too much about war, his lands are leased to others—while Thurio attempts to justify them. As the men talk, Julia (still in disguise as Sebastian) addresses the audience with brief asides that highlight Thurio’s faults in her eyes: He is a self-centered, cowardly, arrogant old man who thinks he is more important than he is.
