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.

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 For number three : Quaero tertiam.

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?
