that then I should have all his property.
DINARCHUS
I listen with pleasure. In fine, what is it you are contriving?
PHRONESIUM
My mother ordered the servant-maids, since now the tenth month is arriving close at hand, each to go in some different direction, to seek out and bespeak a boy or a girl, to be passed off as my own.
Why need I make many words? You know Syra, the female hair-dresser[*], who now lives hard by our house?
DINARCHUS
I know her.
PHRONESIUM
She, with the utmost care, went about among the families, and secretly found out a child, and brought it to me. She said it was given to her.
DINARCHUS
O shocking traffic!
She then hasn’t borne this child who at first did bear it, but you who come afterwards.
PHRONESIUM
You have the whole matter in its order. Now, as the Captain has sent a message before to me, he’ll be here no long time hence.
DINARCHUS
Now, in the mean time, you are treating yourself here as though one who had just lain in?
