I’m all right; see, here he is whom I was looking for. How do you do, good sir?
CURCULIO
I hear you; three casts of the dice, if you like, even for that scarf of yours.
THERAPONTIGONUS
Why don’t you go to very perdition, with your casts and catch-pennies[*]? Either give me back the money or the young woman?
CURCULIO
(with an air of surprise.)
What money? what rubbish are you talking about to me? What young woman are you demanding back of me?
THERAPONTIGONUS
The one that you took away this day from the Procurer, you scoundrelly fellow.
CURCULIO
I took none away.
THERAPONTIGONUS
Why, surely, I see her. There she is. (Pointing to PLANESIUM.)
PHAEDROMUS
This young woman is free.
THERAPONTIGONUS
What, my female slave free, to whom I have never given her liberty?
PHAEDROMUS
Who gave you possession of her, or of whom did you buy her? Let me know that?
THERAPONTIGONUS
Why, I paid the money for her through my banker—a sum which I’ll have refunded to me fourfold by you and the Procurer.
PHAEDROMUS
You, who understand how to traffic in young women, kidnapped and of free birth, come you before the judge.
THERAPONTIGONUS
I shan’t come.
PHAEDROMUS
I may call my witness[*] to the summons.
THERAPONTIGONUS
No, you mayn’t.
PHAEDROMUS
May Jupiter then utterly confound you: live without witnesses[*] then.
CURCULIO
But I’m a person that he may summon.
PHAEDROMUS
(to CURCULIO.)
Do you step this way.[*]
