[Textpart 2]
But why don’t I lay aside this garb? (Goes to the door of DEMIPHO’S house, and calls.) Hallo, somebody, come here this instant out of doors. Come out, and bring me thence a cloak this way.

EUTYCHUS
Well, now how much you do gratify me.
CHARINUS
You boy, who have come with such speed, take my scarf (giving it), and now stand aside there; that, if these things are not true, I may hasten to go upon this intended journey.
Are you telling the truth?
905
EUTYCHUS
Really, Charinus, you are not ashamed of anything.
905
CHARINUS
For my part, I really do believe everything that you tell me.
But why don’t you introduce me to her, that I may see her?
915
EUTYCHUS
Wait a little.
915
CHARINUS
Why am I to wait?
EUTYCHUS
It’s not a convenient moment to go into the house.
CHARINUS
You are torturing me to death.
EUTYCHUS
There’s no need, I tell you, for you to go into the house just now.
CHARINUS
Answer me-for what reason?
EUTYCHUS
She’s not at leisure.
EUTYCHUS
Because it isn’t convenient to her.
CHARINUS
Is it so? Not convenient to her who loves me, and whom I love in return?
He’s trifling with me in every way. I’m too foolish to believe him. He’s only delaying me. (Turns to the BOY.) I’ll put on my scarf again.
920
EUTYCHUS
Stop a little, and listen to this.
