Hermes

What a smooth, slippery, unstable, evasive fellow you are, Plutus! there is no getting a firm hold of you; you wriggle through ones fingers somehow, like an eel or a snake. Poverty is so differentsticky, clinging, all over hooks; any one who comes near her is caught directly, and finds it no simple matter to get clear. But all this gossip has put business out of our heads.

Plutus

Business? What business?

Hermes

We have forgotten to bring Thesaurus, and we cannot do without him.
