Come and look, and inspect it at your own pleasure.
THEUROPIDES
Very well, you go before me.
TRANIO
Am I delaying to do so?
THEUROPIDES
I’ll follow after you.
TRANIO
(as they advance.)
Look, the old gentleman himself is awaiting you before the door, but he is concerned that he has sold this house.
THEUROPIDES
Why so?
TRANIO
He begs me to persuade Philolaches to let him off.
THEUROPIDES
I don’t think he will. Each man reaps on his own farm[*]. If it had been bought dear,
we shouldn’t have had permission to return it on his hands. Whatever profit there is, it’s proper to bring it home. It don’t, now-a-days, befit men to be showing compassion.
TRANIO
I’ faith, you are losing time while you are talking. Follow me.
THEUROPIDES
Be it so.
TRANIO
(to THEUROPIDES.)
I’ll give you my services.
(Pointing.) There’s the old gentleman. (To SIMO.) Well now, I’ve brought you this person.
SIMO
I’m glad that you’ve arrived safely from abroad, Theuropides.
THEUROPIDES
May the Gods bless you.
SIMO
Your servant was telling me that you were desirous to look over this house.
THEUROPIDES
Unless it’s inconvenient to you.
SIMO
Oh no; quite convenient. Do step in-doors and look over it.
THEUROPIDES
(pausing.)
But yet—the ladies—
SIMO
Take you care not to trouble yourself a straw about any lady. Walk in every direction, wherever you like, all over the house just as though it were your own.
THEUROPIDES
(apart to TRANIO.)
Just as though—?
TRANIO
(whispering.)
Oh, take care that you don’t throw it in his teeth now in his concern, that you have bought it. Don’t you see him, how sad a countenance the old gentleman has?
THEUROPIDES
(apart.)
I see.
TRANIO
(apart.)
Then don’t seem to exult, and to be overmuch delighted; in fact, don’t make mention that you’ve bought it.
THEUROPIDES
(apart.)
I understand; and I think you’ve given good advice, and that it shows a humane disposition.
(Turning to SIMO.) What now?
SIMO
Won’t you go in? Look over it at your leisure, just as you like.
THEUROPIDES
I consider that you are acting civilly and kindly.
SIMO
Troth, I wish to do so. Should you like some one to show you over.
THEUROPIDES
Away with any one to show[*] me over. I don’t want him.
