Let me alone, and give me leave to have my own way in this matter.
MENEDEMUS
I do give you leave: is this your desire?
CHREMES
It is so.
MENEDEMUS
Then be it so.
CHREMES
And now let your son prepare to fetch the bride. The other one shall be schooled in such language as befits children. But Syrus—
MENEDEMUS
What of him?
CHREMES
What? If I live, I will have him so handsomely dressed, so well combed out, that he shall always remember me as long as he lives; to imagine that I’m to be a laughing-stock and a plaything for him! So may the Gods bless me! he would not have dared to do to a widow-woman the things which he has done to me.[*]
(They go into their respective houses.)

(Enter MENEDEMUS, with CLITIPHO and SYRUS.)
CLITIPHO
Prithee, is it really the fact, Menedemus, that my father can,
in so short a space of time, have cast off all the natural affection of a parent for me? For what crime? What so great enormity have I, to my misfortune, committed? Young men generally do the same.
