Here, next door.
PHANOSTRATA
By the powers, surely the son-in-law of my husband is living there.
LAMPADISCUS
Surely—
PHANOSTRATA(to LAMPADISCUS.)
Interrupting again? (To HALISCA.) Go on relating it. How many years old is she said to be?
HALISCA
Seventeen.
PHANOSTRATA
She is my own daughter then!
LAMPADISCUS
’Tis she, as the number of her years has proved.
HALISCA
What you are seeking, you have found; I now seek what’s mine.
LAMPADISCUS
Why, faith, they’ve found what’s their own, I’ll seek for number three[*].
PHANOSTRATA
My daughter, the object which I was seeking, I have discovered.
HALISCA
It’s proper to keep in safety what has been entrusted in confidence, lest a kindness should turn out a detriment to the well-deserving. This fosterling of ours is assuredly your daughter,
and my mistress is about to restore you your own, and for that purpose has she come from her house. But, prithee,
enquire of her own self; I am but a servant.
PHANOSTRATA
You ask what’s just.
HALISCA
To her rather do I choose this obligation to belong. But I beg that you’ll restore me that casket.
PHANOSTRATA
What’s to be done, Lampadio?
