In what way—
DEMIPHO
Forbear, pray, that you may be able to do battle with her; lest she, being a young woman, may be more than a match for you.
NAUSISTRATA
I’ll do as you bid me; but I see my husband coming out of your house. (Enter CHREMES, hastily, from DEMIPHO’S house.)
CHREMES
Ha! Demipho, has the money been paid him yet?
DEMIPHO
I took care immediately.
CHREMES
I wish it hadn’t been paid him. (On seeing NAUSISTRATA, aside.): Halloo, I espy my wife; I had almost said more than I ought.
DEMIPHO
Why do you wish I hadn’t, Chremes?
CHREMES
It’s all right.
DEMIPHO
What say you? Have you been letting her know why we are going to bring her? (pointing to NAUSISTRATA.)
CHREMES
I’ve arranged it.
DEMIPHO
Pray, what does she say?
CHREMES
She can’t be got to leave.
DEMIPHO
Why can’t she?
CHREMES
Because they are fond of one another.
DEMIPHO
What’s that to us?
CHREMES
(apart, to DEMIPHO.)
A great deal; besides that, I’ve found out that she is related to us.
DEMIPHO
(apart.)
What! You are mad, surely.
CHREMES
(apart.)
So you will find; I don’t speak at random; I’ve recovered my recollection.
DEMIPHO
(apart.)
Are you quite in your senses?
CHREMES
(apart.)
Nay, prithee, do take care not to injure your kinswoman.
DEMIPHO
(apart.)
She is not.
CHREMES
(apart.)
Don’t deny it; her father went by another name; that was the cause of your mistake.
DEMIPHO
(apart.)
Did she not know who was her father?
CHREMES
(apart.)
She did.
DEMIPHO
(apart.)
Why did she call him by another name?
CHREMES
(apart, frowning.)
Will you never yield to me, nor understand what I mean?
DEMIPHO
(apart.)
If you don’t tell me of any thing—
CHREMES
(impatiently.)
Do you persist?
NAUSISTRATA
I wonder what all this can be.
DEMIPHO
For my part, upon my faith, I don’t know.
