Note to Twelfth Night, 3.1.113-114, "so did I abuse / Myself, my servant and, I fear me, you"

Olivia is afraid she has compromised herself, her servant, Malvolio, and Cesario/Viola by one rash instruction to her servant who she had sent to Cesario/Viola with a ring, under the pretense that Cesario/Viola had left the ring with her and she, Olivia, was refusing it. In doing this, she dishonored herself by lying and by being too forward; she dishonored her servant, Malvolio, by putting him in a false position; and she dishonored Cesario/Viola by imputing to him a surly action—throwing the ring at her.
