I know your story—let me see—do I know your name?
Gor. Gorgo.
Chr.Ay, to be sure. Well, Gorgo, I know your story,
But do not charge on you the unhappy consequence
Of a rash attachment. No. Young men will be young men,
And women are—women; no blame to them. But the fact is this:
That being on intimate terms with Clinia’s family,
I have been entrusted by them, as one unprejudiced,
To enquire, to judge & advise, and, if I can, to find
A Modus vivendi: you, Gorgo, of course are well aware
