In our house.CHARINUSIf 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? EUTYCHUSI’ve seen her myself.CHARINUSWho took her to your house?EUTYCHUSWhy, you’re asking an unfair question. What matters it to you with whom she came?CHARINUSSo long as she’s there— EUTYCHUSShe certainly is.CHARINUSThen, for these tidings, do you wish whatever you please. EUTYCHUSWhat if I do wish?CHARINUSPray to the Gods to bring its fulfilment.EUTYCHUSYou are laughing at me.CHARINUSMy 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.EUTYCHUSWell, 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?EUTYCHUSReally, Charinus, you are not ashamed of anything. Don’t you believe me?CHARINUSFor 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?EUTYCHUSWait a little. CHARINUSWhy am I to wait?EUTYCHUSIt’s not a convenient moment to go into the house.CHARINUSYou are torturing me to death. EUTYCHUSThere’s no need, I tell you, for you to go into the house just now.CHARINUSAnswer me-for what reason?EUTYCHUSShe’s not at leisure. CHARINUSWhy so?EUTYCHUSBecause it isn’t convenient to her.
