Helped by Ferdinand, the volatile duke with an unhealthy yen for his twin sister, to the position of "provisorship o 'the horse" in the duchess's household, Bosola sneers that "my corruption / Grew out of horse dung" and proceeds to stink up the place, discovering first the duchess's pregnancy and then the identity of her partner and reporting all to the cool, corrupt cardinal and the unstable duke.
