Achiva, the midwife. DINARCHUS You are an artful damsel. ASTAPHIUM I’m as usual then; that’s my practice. Part of line 131b in the Latin. DINARCHUS You deceitful hussy, I’ve caught you detected in a lie. ASTAPHIUM How so, pray? DINARCHUS Because you said that you were going to bring his own self, and not herself. A woman, then, has been made out of a man. You are an artful one. ASTAPHIUM A conjurer! DINARCHUS But, pray, tell me, Astaphium who is this person? A new lover? ASTAPHIUM I think that you are a gentleman too much at his ease. DINARCHUS Why now do you think so?
