Read the extract below and answer questions:

A : Would you'd pardon me

I do not without danger walk these streets;

Once, in a sea-fight against the Count his galleys,

I did some service-of such note, indeed.

That were I ta'en here

It would scarce be answered

B : Be like you slew great number of his people

A : The offence is not of such a bloody nature,

Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel

Might well have given us bloody argument

(Act III Scene III)

They mood of Speaker A, is that of

• A gaiety
• B courage
• C melancholy
• D fear
