Bravo! Tranio, what’s being done?
TRANIO
The country people are coming from the country Philolaches will be here in a moment.
THEUROPIDES
I’ faith, he comes opportunely for me. This neighbour of ours I take to be a shameless and dishonest fellow.
TRANIO
Why so?
THEUROPIDES
Inasmuch as he denies that he knows you.
TRANIO
Denies it?
THEUROPIDES
And declares that you never gave him a single coin of money
TRANIO
Out with you, you are joking me, I do believe; he doesn’t deny it.
THEUROPIDES
How so?
TRANIO
I am sure now that you are joking; for surely he doesn’t deny it.
THEUROPIDES
Nay but, upon my faith, he really does deny it; or that he has sold this house to Philolaches.
TRANIO
Well now, pray, has he denied that the money was paid him?
THEUROPIDES
Nay more, he offered to take an oath to me, if I desired it,
that he had neither sold this house, nor had any money him paid been.
I told him the same that you told me.
TRANIO
What did he say?
THEUROPIDES
He offered to give up all his servants for examination.
TRANIO
Nonsense! On my faith, he never will give them up.
THEUROPIDES
He really does offer them.
TRANIO
Why then, do you summon him to trial.
THEUROPIDES
Wait a bit;
I’ll make trial as I fancy. I’m determined on it.
TRANIO
Bring the fellow here to me.
THEUROPIDES
What then, if I go fetch some men?
TRANIO
It ought to have been done already;
or else bid the young man to demand possession of the house.
THEUROPIDES
Why no, I want to do this first—to put the servants under examination[*].
TRANIO
I’ faith, I think it ought to be done.
Meantime, I’ll take possession of this altar[*].
