LYSIAS

When I could make out the breath of more than one person, at first I thought Lyde was sleeping with her. But that wasn’t so, Pythias, for, when I touched her companion, it was a smooth-chinned, soft-skinned man, with his head shaved, and reeking of scent like a woman. If I’d had my sword with me, when I’d made this discovery, believe me, I wouldn’t have hesitated! Why are you laughing, Pythias? Do you see anything funny in what I say?

JOESSA

Was that what annoyed you, Lysias? It was Pythias here who was sleeping with me.

PYTHIAS

Don’t tell him, Joessa.

JOESSA

Why not? It was Pythias, darling. I asked her to sleep with me, because I was miserable without you. 5

LYSIAS

Pythias the man with the shaved head? Has she grown all this hair in the five days since then?

JOESSA

She had her head shaved, because she was ill and her hairs were falling out. But now she’s wearing a wig. Show him, Pythias, show him I’m telling the truth. Convince him. Take a look at the young man, the lover of whom you were so jealous!

LYSIAS

Well, hadn’t I good reason? Especially as I loved you, and had touched your companion with my own hands?

JOESSA

Then you believe me now? Do you want me to get my own back by annoying you? I’ve a perfect right to be angry in my turn.

LYSIAS

Please don’t. Let’s have some wine now, and Pythias with us. She ought to be there when the wine seals our truce. 5

JOESSA

So she shall. Oh, but how I’ve suffered because of you, Pythias, you noble young fellow!
