Any at all—how?
ANTIPHO
Pray, do try, that he mayn’t be doing something that we may afterward be more or less sorry for, Geta.
GETA
I’m considering, (He pauses.) He’s all safe, so far as I can guess: but still, I’m afraid of mischief.
ANTIPHO
Don’t be afraid: together with you, we’ll share good and bad.
GETA
(to PHAEDRIA.)
How much money do you want? Tell me.
PHAEDRIA
Only thirty minae.
GETA
Thirty? Heyday! she’s monstrous dear, Phaedria.
PHAEDRIA
Indeed, she’s very cheap.
GETA
Well, well, I’ll get them for you.
PHAEDRIA
Oh the dear man! (They both fall to hugging GETA.)
GETA
Take yourselves off. (Shakes them of.)
PHAEDRIA
There’s need for them directly.
GETA
You shall have them directly;
but I must have Phormio for my assistant in this business.
ANTIPHO
He’s quite ready; right boldly lay on him any load you like, he’ll bear it: he, in especial, is a friend to his friend.
GETA
Let’s go to him at once then.
ANTIPHO
Will you have any occasion for my assistance?
GETA
None; but be off home, and comfort that poor thing, who I am sure is now in-doors almost dead with fear. Do you linger?
ANTIPHO
There’s nothing I could do with so much pleasure.
(Goes into the house of DEMIPHO.)
PHAEDRIA
What way will you manage this?
GETA
I’ll tell you on the road; first thing, betake yourself off. (Exeunt.)
567
(Enter DEMIPHO and CHREMES.)
DEMIPHO
Well, have you brought your daughter with you, Chremes, for whom you went to Lemnos?
CHREMES
No.
DEMIPHO
Why not?
CHREMES
When her mother found that I staid here longer than usual,
and at the same time the age of the girl did not suit with my delays, they told me that she, with all her family, set out in search of me.
DEMIPHO
Pray, then, why did you stay there so long, when you had heard of this?
CHREMES
Why, faith, a malady detained me.
DEMIPHO
From what cause? Or what was it?
CHREMES
Do you ask me?
