What! Are you to prevent me from touching what’s my own?
CHREMES
I will prevent it, I tell you.
GNATHO
(to THRASO.)
Do you hear him? He is convicting himself of theft. Is not that enough for you?
THRASO
Do you say the same, Thais?
THAIS
Go, find some one to answer you.
(She and CHREMES go away from the window.)
THRASO
(to GNATHO.)
What are we to do now?
GNATHO
Why, go back again: she’ll soon be with you, of her own accord, to entreat forgiveness.
THRASO
Do you think so?
GNATHO
Certainly, yes. I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won’t; when you won’t, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination.
THRASO
You judge right.
GNATHO
Shall I dismiss the army then?
THRASO
Whenever you like.
GNATHO
Sanga, as befits gallant soldiers,[*] take care in your turn to remember your homes and hearths.
SANGA
My thoughts have been for some time among the sauce-pans.
GNATHO
You are a worthy fellow.
THRASO
(putting himself at their head.)
You follow me this way.
(Exeunt omnes.)
816
(Enter THAIS from her house, followed by PYTHIAS.)
THAIS
What! do you persist, hussy, in talking ambiguously to me? I do know; I don’t know; he has gone off; I have heard; I wasn’t there. Don’t you mean to tell me plainly, whatever it is? The girl in tears, with her garments torn, is mute;
the Eunuch is off: for what reason? What has happened? Won’t you speak?
PYTHIAS
Wretch that I am, what am I to say to you? They declare that he was not a Eunuch.
THAIS
What was he then?
PYTHIAS
That Chaerea.
THAIS
What Chaerea?
PYTHIAS
That stripling, the brother of Phaedria.
THAIS
What’s that you say, you hag?
PYTHIAS
And I am satisfied of it.
THAIS
Pray, what business had he at my house? What brought him there?
PYTHIAS
I don’t know; unless, as I suppose, he was in love with Pamphila.
THAIS
Alas! to my confusion, unhappy woman that I am, I’m undone, if what you tell me is true. Is it about this that the girl is crying?
PYTHIAS
I believe so.
THAIS
How say you, you arch-jade? Did I not warn you about this very thing, when I was going away from here?
