Well, if you are able carefully to remember that, 1 have some hope in this scheme of ours.
251
(Enter HEGIO, from his house, speaking to those within.)
HEGIO
I shall return in-doors just now, when I shall have discovered from these people what I want to know. (To the SLAVES.) Where are those persons whom I ordered to be brought out of doors here, before the house ?
PHILOCRATES
By my faith, I find that you have taken due precaution that we shouldn’t be missed by you, so walled in are we with chains and keepers.
HEGIO
He that takes precaution that he mayn’t be deceived, is hardly on his guard, even while he’s taking precaution; even when he has supposed that he has taken every precaution, full often is this wary man outwitted. Was there not good reason, indeed, for me to watch you carefully, whom I purchased with so large a sum of ready money?
PHILOCRATES
Troth, it isn’t fair for us to hold you to blame, because you watch us closely;
nor yet for you us, if we go away hence, should there be an opportunity.
