Angelina was orphaned young and was raised by nuns in a convent, making her unfit to marry Ippolito. Ippolito, however, was insistent and so his father forced them into a vow of silence and separation. Also living at the convent is a nobel born woman named Faustina, with whom Angelina develops a strong sisterhood. A year after coming to the convent, Faustina goes off to complete her education, leaving Angelina alone. The story picks up with Angelina gathering herself to go see Faustina, who has returned after completing her education. After a brief and joyous reunion, the two separate to complete some errands. While out walking, Angelina runs into Ippolito. Ippolito expresses his unaffected love, but is rebuffed by Angelina's silence. She sticks strictly to her vow, causing Ippolito to wrongfully assume that she has moved on to another lover. He vows to find her new lover and charges off. On the next day on their walk, Angelina and Faustina run into Ippolito once again. This is the first time that Faustina has ever met Ippolito. Angelina breaks her vow of silence momentarily to to promise she will not speak of this to anyone. Ippolito is again bothered by her coldness. Ippilito is taken to the convent that Faustina is staying at to recover after an injury sustained by a buffalo. Faustina implores Angelina to come visit the the convent to see Ippolito. Angelina agrees, but once she arrives at the convent, she discovers Ippolito's silence. Soon after, Faustina comes to Angelina in a panic over her father's interest in marring her off to Ippolito. Angelina grows ill from worry for her friend after she hears this news, and is put on bed rest. Angelina writes a letter to Ippolito cautioning him about her friend while alluding to their marriage to be. Once Angelina is well enough once again, she decides to visit the convent once more. Instead of being greeted by Ippolito, she meets Faustina with the letter. Faustina is hurt by the letter, which Angelina takes and retreats back to her room. She then receives a letter from Ippolito that does not bode well for their relationship. Ultimately, the silence pact is too much for Ippolito and Angelina to overcome, and Faustina marries him instead.
