Pooh, pooh!
SYRUS
A pleasant and agreeable woman this Courtesan.
CHREMES
Why, so she seemed to me, in fact.
SYRUS
And really of handsome appearance.
CHREMES
Well enough.
SYRUS
Not like those of former days,[*] but as times are now, very passable:
nor do I in the least wonder that Clinia doats upon her. But he has a father—a certain covetous, miserable, and niggardly person—this neighbor of ours (pointing to the house). Do you know him ? Yet, as if he was not abounding in wealth, his son ran away through want. Are you aware that it is the fact, as I am saying?
CHREMES
How should I not be aware?
A fellow that deserves the mill.
SYRUS
Who?
CHREMES
That servant of the young gentleman, I mean.
SYRUS
(aside.)
Syrus! I was sadly afraid for you.
CHREMES
To suffer it to come to this!
SYRUS
What was he to do?
CHREMES
Do you ask the question? He ought to have found some expedient, contrived some stratagem, by means of which there might have been something for the young man to give to his mistress,
and thus have saved this crabbed old fellow in spite of himself.
SYRUS
You are surely joking.
CHREMES
This ought to have been done by him, Syrus.
SYRUS
How now—pray, do you commend servants, who deceive their masters?
CHREMES
Upon occasion—I certainly do commend them.
SYRUS
Quite right.
CHREMES
Inasmuch as it often is the remedy for great disturbances.
Then would this man’s only son have staid at home.
SYRUS
(aside.)
Whether he says this in jest or in earnest, I don’t know; only, in fact, that he gives me additional zest for longing still more to trick him.
CHREMES
And what is he now waiting for, Syrus? Is it until his father drives him away from here a second time, when he can no longer support her expenses?[*]
Has he no plot on foot against the old gentleman?
SYRUS
He is a stupid fellow.
CHREMES
Then you ought to assist him—for the sake of the young man.
SYRUS
For my part, I can do so easily, if you command me; for I know well in what fashion it is usually done.
CHREMES
So much the better, i’ faith.
