I heard that she was brought to bed.
ASTAPHIUM
Oh, prithee, Dinarchus, do hold your tongue.
DIN,
Why so?
ASTAPHIUM
I shudder in my alarm, as often as mention is made of childbirth, with such difficulty has Phronesium survived for you. Prithee, do come in-doors now; do go to see her and wait there a little. She’ll be out just now; for she was at the bath.
DINARCHUS
What do you say? She who was never pregnant, how could she be brought to bed? For really, I never, that I am aware of, perceived her to be in a breeding state.
ASTAPHIUM
She concealed it from you and was afraid, lest you should persuade her to have recourse to abortion[*], and so destroy the child.
DINARCHUS
Troth then, who’s the father of this child?
ASTAPHIUM
A Babylonian Captain,[*] whose arrival she is now expecting.
So much so, indeed, that, according as was reported, they say that he’ll be here just now. I wonder he has not arrived by this.
DINARCHUS
Shall I go in, then?
