Whence come you?
THEUROPIDES
I met that person from whom I bought this house.
TRANIO
Did you tell him anything about that which I was telling you?
THEUROPIDES
I’ faith, I certainly told him everything.
TRANIO
(aside.)
Woe to unfortunate me!
I’m afraid that my schemes are everlastingly undone!
THEUROPIDES
What is it you are saying to yourself?
TRANIO
Why nothing. But tell me, prithee, did you really tell him?
THEUROPIDES
I told him everything in its order, I tell you.
TRANIO
Does he, then, confess about the guest?
THEUROPIDES
Why no; he utterly denies it.
TRANIO
Does he deny it?
THEUROPIDES
Do you ask me again?
I should tell you if he had confessed it. What now are you of opinion ought to be done?
TRANIO
What is my opinion? By my troth, I beg of you, appoint an arbitrator together with him; but take you care that you appoint one who will believe me; you’ll overcome him as easily as a fox eats a pear[*].
A BANKER
(to himself.)
But see, here’s Tranio, the servant of Philolaches, people who pay me neither interest nor principal on my money.
(Goes towards TRANIO, who steps forward to meet him.)
THEUROPIDES
(to TRANIO.)
Whither are you betaking yourself?
TRANIO
I’m going no whither. (Aside.) For sure, I am a wretch, a rascal, one born with all the Gods my foes! He’ll now be accosting me in the old man’s presence. Assuredly, I am a wretched man;
in such a fashion both this way and that do they find business for me. But I’ll make haste and accost him. (Moves towards the BANKER.)
A BANKER
(apart.)
He’s coming towards me. I’m all right I’ve some hopes of my money;
he’s smiling.
TRANIO
(to himself.)
The fellow’s deceived.[*] (To the BANKER.) I heartily bid you hail, my friend Saturides[*].
A BANKER
And hail to you. What about the money?
TRANIO
Be off with you, will you, you brute.
Directly you come, you commence the attack[*] against me.
A BANKER
(apart.)
This fellow’s empty-handed.
TRANIO
(overhearing him.)
This fellow’s surely a conjurer.
A BANKER
But why don’t you put an end to this trifling?
TRANIO
Tell me, then, what it is you want.
