Had it not been for you, Menedemus, I promise you
I could not have stood it.
Men.I feel extremely obliged to you,
And sorry for this. You have been most friendly in all you have done.
I cannot doubt you are right. But still whatever she is,
I’d like to see her once. I can’t dine with you;—arrange
To send her across to me. Explain to her who I am;
And let me judge for myself if it is so impossible
To carry out my former intention as you believe.
