Flex. If it does not happen, then they must be deceived on this point, or else thou wilt never obtain what thou so keenly desirest.
Grym. By what way can you persuade me to think so?
Flex. Easily. Apply your mind carefully to what I say.
Grym. Go on, I beg. For I am sent on this very account to you, and you shall always be amongst our clientèle.
Flex. Ah, that apple is too raw for me!
Grym. What do you whisper?
Flex. I say the only way will be for you to be what you wish to be thought to be.
Grym. How so?
Flex. If you wish to make anything warm, do you then bring it to an imaginary fire?
