Well, so I thought.
CHARINUS
Prithee, is the ship lost?
ACANTHIO
The ship’s all right; don’t fear about that.
CHARINUS
Well then, the rest of the cargo?
ACANTHIO
That’s right and tight.
CHARINUS
Why then don’t you tell
me what it is, for which, just now, running through the city, you were seeking me?
ACANTHIO
Really, you are taking the words out of my mouth.
CHARINUS
I’ll hold my tongue.
ACANTHIO
Do hold your tongue. I doubt, if I brought you any good news, you’d be dreadfully pressing, who are now insisting upon my speaking out, when you must hear bad news.
CHARINUS
Troth then, prithee do you let me know what this misfortune is.
ACANTHIO
Since you beg of me, I’ll tell you. Your father—
CHARINUS
My father did what?
ACANTHIO
Your mistress—
CHARINUS
What about her?
ACANTHIO
He has seen her.
CHARINUS
Seen her? Ah wretch that I am! What I ask you, answer me.
ACANTHIO
Nay, but do you ask me, if you want anything.
CHARINUS
How could he see her?
ACANTHIO
With his eyes.
CHARINUS
In what way?
ACANTHIO
Wide open.
CHARINUS
Away hence and be hanged. You are trifling, when my life’s at stake.
ACANTHIO
How the plague am I trifling, if I answer you what you ask me?
CHARINUS
Did he see her for certain?
ACANTHIO
Aye, troth, as certainly as I see you and you see me.
CHARINUS
Where did he see her?
ACANTHIO
Down on board the ship, as he stood near the prow and chatted with her.
CHARINUS
Father, you have undone me. Come now, you, come now, you sir? Why, you whip-rascal, didn’t you take care that he mightn’t see her? Why, villain, didn’t you stow her away, that my father mightn’t perceive her?
ACANTHIO
Because we were busily employed about our business; we were engaged in packing up and arranging the cargo. While these things were being done, your father was brought alongside in a very small boat; and not an individual beheld the man until he was aboard the ship.
