(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.
SIMO
Why? What’s the matter?
THEUROPIDES
I’ll go wrong, rather than any one should show me over.[*]
TRANIO
(pointing.)
Don’t you see, this vestibule before the house, and the piazza, of what a compass it is?
THEUROPIDES
Troth, really handsome!
TRANIO
Well, look now, what pillars there are, with what strength they are built, and of what a thickness.
THEUROPIDES
I don’t think that I ever saw handsomer pillars.
SIMO
I’ faith, they were some time since bought by me at such a price!
TRANIO
(aside, whispering.)
Don’t you hear—They were once? He seems hardly able to refrain from tears.
THEUROPIDES
At what price did you purchase them?
SIMO
I gave three minae for the two, besides the carriage.
(He retires to some distance.)
THEUROPIDES
(after looking close at them, to TRANIO.)
Why, upon my word, they are much more unsound than I thought them at first.
