Zeus Put it aside, and up with another. Stay, take the pair from Abdera and Ephesus; the creeds of Smiles and Tears. They shall make one lot. Heraclitus Come forward, you two. Lot No. 4. A superlative pair. The smartest brace of creeds on our catalogue. Fourth Dealer Zeus! What a difference is here! One of them does nothing but laugh, and the other might be at a funeral; he is all tears—You there! what is the joke? Democritus You ask? You and your affairs are all one vast joke. Fourth Dealer So! You laugh at us? Our business is a toy? Democritus It is. There is no taking it seriously. All is vanity. Mere interchange of atoms in an infinite void. Fourth Dealer Your vanity is infinite, if you like. Stop that laughing, you rascal.—
