Say that you’ll pay it, that he may be off.
THEUROPIDES
I, say that I’ll pay it?
TRANIO
Do say so.
THEUROPIDES
What, I?
TRANIO
You yourself. Do only say so. Do be guided by me. Do promise. Come now, I say; I beg of you.
THEUROPIDES
Answer me; what has been done with this money?
TRANIO
It’s safe.
THEUROPIDES
Pay it yourselves then, if it’s safe,
TRANIO
Your son has bought a house.
THEUROPIDES
A house?
TRANIO
A house.
THEUROPIDES
Bravo! Philolaches is taking after his father! The fellow now turns to merchandize.
A house, say you?
TRANIO
A house, I tell you. But do you know of what sort?
THEUROPIDES
How can I know?
TRANIO
Out with you!
THEUROPIDES
What’s the matter?
TRANIO
Don’t ask me that.
THEUROPIDES
But why so?
TRANIO
Bright as a mirror, pure brilliancy itself.
THEUROPIDES
Excellently done, upon my faith! Well, how much did he agree to give for it?
TRANIO
As many great talents as you and I put together make;
but these forty minae he paid by way of earnest. (Pointing to the BANKER.) From him he received what we paid the other man. Do you quite understand[*]? For after this house was in such a state as I mentioned to you, he at once purchased another house for himself.
THEUROPIDES
Excellently done, upon my faith!
A BANKER
(touching TRANIO.)
Hark you. Mid-day is now close at hand.
TRANIO
Prithee, do dismiss this puking fellow, that he mayn’t worry us to death.
[*]Forty-four minae are due to him, both principal and interest.
A BANKER
’Tis just that much; I ask for nothing more.
TRANIO
Upon my faith, I really could have wished that you had asked more, if only by a single coin.
