Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Or else the lady's mad; yet if 'twere so,

She could not sway her house, command her followers,

Take and give back affairs and their despatch

With such a smooth, discreet, and stable bearing,

As I perceive she does: there's something in't

That is deceivable. But here comes the lady.

Answer:

The following lines are the answer to the first part of the question:

“she could not sway her house, command her followers,

Take and give back affairs and their despatch

With such a smooth, discreet, and stable bearing,

As I perceive she does...”

Step-by-step explanation:

As I recall, Olivia provides Sebastian with a piece of jewelry that Sebastian understood as the proof of love, but the fact is that Olivia had thought that she gave that piece of jewelry to Cesario.

Every other reason is questionable and debatable...
