Why, have I any business then with you here?
SYRUS
O no; I’m only going to give you what’s your own.
BACCHIS
Then let’s be going.[*]
SYRUS
Follow this way. (Goes to the door of MENEDIEMUS, and calls.) Ho there! Dromo.
(Enter DROMO from the house.)
DROMO
Who is it wants me?
SYRUS
Syrus.
DROMO
What’s the matter?
SYRUS
Take over all the attendants of Bacchis to your house here immediately.
DROMO
Why so?
SYRUS
Ask no questions. Let them take what they brought here with them. The old gentleman will hope his expenses are lightened by their departure; for sure he little knows how much loss this trifling gain will bring him. You, Dromo, if you are wise, know nothing of what you do know.
DROMO
You shall own that I’m dumb.
(CLINIA, BACCHIS, and PHRYGIA go into the house of MENEDEMUS, and DROMO follows with BACCHIS’s retinue and baggage.)
749
(Enter CHREMES from his house.)
CHREMES
(to himself)
So may the Deities prosper me, I am now concerned for the fate of Menedemus,
that so great a misfortune should have befallen him. To be maintaining that woman with such a retinue! Although I am well aware he’ll not be sensible of it for some days to come, his son was so greatly missed by him; but when he sees such a vast expense incurred by him
every day at home, and no limit to it, he’ll wish that this son would leave him a second time. See—here comes Syrus most opportunely.
SYRUS
(to himself, as he comes forward.)
Why delay to accost him?
CHREMES
Syrus.
SYRUS
Well.
CHREMES
How go matters ?
SYRUS
I’ve been wishing for some time for you to be thrown in my way.
CHREMES
You seem, then, to have effected something, I know not what, with the old gentleman.
SYRUS
As to what we were talking of a short time since? No sooner said than done.
CHREMES
In real earnest ?
SYRUS
In real.
CHREMES
Upon my faith, I can not forbear patting your head for it. Come here, Syrus; I’ll do you some good turn for this matter, and with pleasure.
(Patting his head.)
SYRUS
But if you knew how cleverly it came into my head—
CHREMES
Pshaw! Do you boast because it has turned out according to your wishes
SYRUS
On my word, not I, indeed; I am telling the truth.
CHREMES
Tell me how it is.
SYRUS
Clinia has told Menedemus, that this Bacchis is your Clitipho’s mistress, and that he has taken her thither with him in order that you might not come to know of it.
CHREMES
Very good.
