I’ faith, and so she seems.

LAMPADISCUS(aside.)

She imitates a worthless animal and a mischievous.

PHANOSTRATA(aside.)

Which one, prithee?

LAMPADISCUS
(aside.)

A caterpillar, which twisting about winds itself in the leaf of the vine;

just in the same way does she begin a story that twists about. (To HALISCA.) What are you looking for?

HALISCA

A casket, my good young man, has flown away from me here.

LAMPADISCUS

You ought to have put it in a cage.

HALISCA

I’ faith, the booty was no great one.

LAMPADISCUS

It’s a wonder, if a whole troop of slaves[*] isn’t there in the casket.

PHANOSTRATA

Do let her speak.

LAMPADISCUS

If indeed she would speak.

PHANOSTRATA(to HALISCA.)

Come say you, what was in it?

HALISCA

Trinkets only.

LAMPADISCUS

There’s a certain man, who declares that he knows where it is.

HALISCA

But, by my faith, he’ll confer an obligation on a certain woman if he’ll discover it.

LAMPADISCUS

But this certain man wishes a reward to be given to him.
