from some person or other.
GETA
From some person or other? Nothing more easily said.
DEMIPHO
After all, if on no other terms, on interest.
GETA
Aye, aye, fine talking; as if any one would have trusted him, while you were living.[*]
DEMIPHO
No, it shall not be so; it must not be. Ought I to allow her to remain with him as his wife a single day?
She merits no indulgence. I should like this fellow to be pointed out to me, or to be shown where he lives.
GETA
Phormio, do you mean?
DEMIPHO
That fellow, the woman’s next friend?[*]
GETA
I’ll have him here immediately.
DEMIPHO
Where is Antipho at present?
GETA
Away from home.
DEMIPHO
Go, Phedria, look for him, and bring him here.
PHAEDRIA
I’Il go straightway to the place.
GETA
(aside.)
To Pamphila, you mean.
(Exeunt PHAEDRIA and GETA.)
DEMIPHO
(to himself.)
I’ll just step home to salute the house-hold Gods.[*] From there, I’ll go to the Forum, and summon some of my friends to give me their assistance in this affair; so that I may not be unprepared, when Phormio comes.
(Goes into his house.)
315
(Enter PHORMIO and GETA.)
PHORMIO
And so you say[*] that, dreading his father’s presence, he has taken himself off?
GETA
Exactly so.
PHORMIO
That Phanium is left alone?
GETA
Just so.
PHORMIO
And that the old man is in a rage?
GETA
Extremely so.
PHORMIO
The whole business, Phormio, rests on yourself alone; you yourself have hashed it up;[*] it must all be swallowed by yourself, so set about it.
GETA
I entreat you—
PHORMIO
(to himself.)
If he inquires.
GETA
In you is all our hope.
PHORMIO
(to himself.)
Look at this, now:—
What if he sends her back?
GETA
It was you that urged us.
PHORMIO
(to himself.)
I think that will do.
GETA
Do help us.
