I understand.
EPIDICUS
When she’s bought, you must remove her somewhere out of the city; unless your own
feelings are any way opposed.
PERIPHIANES
O no, skilfully suggested.
EPIDICUS
But what say you, Apaecides?
APAECIDES
Why, what should I? Except that I think you’ve contrived it very cleverly.
EPIDICUS
Then, in consequence, all thoughts of marriage with her will be removed from him, so that he will make no difficulties as to what you wish.
APAECIDES
Long life to you, wise as you are, it really does please us.
EPIDICUS
Do you then skilfully do whatever you are going to do.
PERIPHIANES
I’ faith, you speak to the purpose.
EPIDICUS
I have found, too, how this suspicion may be removed from yourself.
PERIPHIANES
Let me know it.
EPIDICUS
You shall know it; just listen.
APAECIDES
He’s come with a breast full of counsel.
EPIDICUS
There’s need of a person to carry the money there for the music-girl; but there’s no equal necessity for yourself to do it.
PERIPHIANES
Why so?
EPIDICUS
Lest he should think you are doing it for the sake of your son—
PERIPHIANES
Cleverly thought of!
EPIDICUS
By which means you’ll keep him away from her;
lest any difficulty might arise by reason of that suspicion.
PERIPHIANES
What person shall we find suited to this purpose?
EPIDICUS
(pointing to APAECIDES.)
He will be the best; he will be able to take all due precautions, as he understands the laws and ordinances.
PERIPHIANES
Epidicus, receive my thanks. But I’ll attend to this with all care.
EPIDICUS
I’ll find him and bring him here to you, to whom the music-girl belongs;
and I’ll take the money along with him.
(Pointing to APAECIDES.)
PERIPHIANES
For how much, at the lowest, can she be bought?
EPIDICUS
What, she? Perhaps she might possibly be bought at the lowest for forty minae; but if you give me more, I shall return it. There’s no trickery in this matter. This money, too, of yours won’t be locked up ten days.
PERIPHIANES
How so?
EPIDICUS
Why, because another young man is dying with love for this woman,
one abounding in money, a great warrior, a Rhodian, a spoiler of his foes[*], a boaster; he’ll buy her of you, and give the money with pleasure. You only do it; there’s a large profit for you here.
