Make haste for what?
PLANESIUM
That you mayn’t let the Parasite escape;
the affair’s of consequence.
PHAEDROMUS
Nothing have I[*] of consequence; for what I did have I quickly made away with?
(Seizes CURCULIO.)
I’ve got him;
what’s the matter?
PLANESIUM
Ask him whence he got that ring: my father used to wear it.
CURCULIO
Why, troth, and so did my aunt.
PLANESIUM
My mother gave it him to wear.
CURCULIO
And your father, in his turn, to me.
PLANESIUM
You are talking nonsense.
CURCULIO
I’m in the habit; for by reason of it I make a livelihood the more easily. What is the matter now?
PLANESIUM
I entreat you, don’t be keeping me from finding my parents.
CURCULIO
How can I? Have I got your father and mother hidden beneath the stone? (Holding up the ring.)
PLANESIUM
I was born a free woman.
CURCULIO
And so were many others, who are now in servitude.
PLANESIUM
Really now, I’m vexed.
CURCULIO
For my part, I’ve told you how this came into my possession. How often must you be told? I cheated the Captain at dice, I tell you.
