He wonders who in the world his eccentric neighbour is.

But whether he knows or not we’ll soon find out: for look,

He is coming down the road. Stand back where you can hear;

And if he has any knowledge that can be of use to you,

I’ll worm it out.

Re-enter Chremes.

Chr.What are you doing, Pamphilus,

Looking over the hedge into our neighbour’s garden?

Do you not know how vulgar curiosity is?
