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.
A BANKER
Where is Philolaches?
TRANIO
You never could have met me more opportunely than you have met me.
A BANKER
How’s that?
TRANIO
(taking him aside.)
Step this way.
A BANKER
(aloud.)
Why isn’t the money repaid me?
TRANIO
I know that you have a good voice; don’t bawl out so loud.
A BANKER
(aloud.)
I’ faith, I certainly shall bawl out.
TRANIO
O do humour me now.
A BANKER
What do you want me to humour you in?
TRANIO
Prithee, be off hence home.
A BANKER
Be off?
