Wait till I fetch a cushion.
ANTIPHO
You take kind care of me; I’m nicely seated now as I am[*].
PAMPHILA
Do let me, father.
(Goes into the house.)
ANTIPHO
What need is there?
PAMPHILA
There is need.
(Coming out, and bringing a cushion.)
ANTIPHO
I’ll submit to you. (Arranging the cushion.) Yes, this does very well.
PAMPHILA
Why, daughters can never take too much care of their parent. Whom is it proper that we should esteem more dear than yourself? And then, in the next place, father, our husbands, for whom you have chosen that we should be the mothers of families.
ANTIPHO
You do as it is proper for good wives to do, in esteeming your husbands,
though absent, just as though they were present.
PAMPHILA
’Tis propriety, father, for us to highly honor those who have chosen us as companions for themselves.
ANTIPHO
Is there any other person here to listen with his ears[*] to our conversation?
PHILUMENA
There’s no one except us and yourself.
