In our house.
CHARINUS
If you are telling the truth, a worthy house, and aptly built, I deem it. But how am I to credit that? Have you seen her; or do you speak from hearsay?
EUTYCHUS
I’ve seen her myself.
CHARINUS
Who took her to your house?
EUTYCHUS
Why, you’re asking an unfair question.
What matters it to you with whom she came?
CHARINUS
So long as she’s there—
EUTYCHUS
She certainly is.
CHARINUS
Then, for these tidings, do you wish whatever you please.
EUTYCHUS
What if I do wish?
CHARINUS
Pray to the Gods to bring its fulfilment.
EUTYCHUS
You are laughing at me.
CHARINUS
My fortunes, in fine, are redeemed, if I can see her.
But why don’t I lay aside this garb? (Goes to the door of DEMIPHO’S house, and calls.) Hallo, somebody, come here this instant out of doors. Come out, and bring me thence a cloak this way.
EUTYCHUS
Well, now how much you do gratify me.
CHARINUS
(to a BOY who enters, bringing his cloak.)
You boy, who have come with such speed, take my scarf (giving it), and now stand aside there; that, if these things are not true, I may hasten to go upon this intended journey.
(To EUTYCHUS.)
Are you telling the truth?
EUTYCHUS
Really, Charinus, you are not ashamed of anything.
Don’t you believe me?
CHARINUS
For my part, I really do believe everything that you tell me.
But why don’t you introduce me to her, that I may see her?
EUTYCHUS
Wait a little.
CHARINUS
Why am I to wait?
EUTYCHUS
It’s not a convenient moment to go into the house.
CHARINUS
You are torturing me to death.
EUTYCHUS
There’s no need, I tell you, for you to go into the house just now.
CHARINUS
Answer me-for what reason?
EUTYCHUS
She’s not at leisure.
CHARINUS
Why so?
EUTYCHUS
Because it isn’t convenient to her.
