I think that you’ve come to a right understanding. For your father expects either myself or some messenger to come from here to him.TYNDARUS I wish you, then, to mind what message it is I want you to carry hence to my country to my father.PHILOCRATES Philocrates, as up to this moment I have done, I will take all due care to endeavour that which may especially conduce to your interest, and to pursue the same with heart and soul, and with my ears.TYNDARUS You act just as you ought to act; now I wish you to give attention. In the first place of all, carry my respects to my mother and my father, and to my relations, and if any one else you see well-disposed towards me: say that I am in health here, and that I am a slave, in servitude to this most worthy man, who has ever honored me more and more with his respect, and does so still.PHILOCRATES Don’t you be instructing me as to that; I can, still, easily bear that in mind.
