Why do you wish I hadn’t, Chremes?
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.
CHREMES
Because they are fond of one another.

DEMIPHO
What’s that to us?
800
CHREMES
A great deal; besides that, I’ve found out that she is related to us.

DEMIPHO
What! You are mad, surely.
CHREMES
So you will find; I don’t speak at random; I’ve recovered my recollection.
DEMIPHO
Are you quite in your senses?
CHREMES
Nay, prithee, do take care not to injure your kinswoman.
CHREMES
Don’t deny it; her father went by another name; that was the cause of your mistake.
DEMIPHO
Did she not know who was her father?
DEMIPHO
Why did she call him by another name?

CHREMES
Will you never yield to me, nor understand what I mean?
