Byrr. [to himself.] My master has given me orders to lay all other business aside and watch Pamphilus to-day, that I may discover how he acts touching this marriage; so [127]as I saw the old man coming this way, I followed him. Oh! here is Davus, and his master with him: now then to execute my commission.
Simo. Oh! there they are together.
Davus. [aside to Pamphilus.] Now, Sir, be on your guard.
Simo. Pamphilus.
Davus. [aside to Pamphilus.] Turn round suddenly, as if you had not perceived him.
Pam. Ha! my father.
Davus. [aside.] Acted to the life.
Simo. I intend, (as I told you before), to have you married to-day.
Byrr. [aside.] Now for my master’s[128] sake, I dread to hear his answer.
Pam. You shall not find me tardy in obeying your commands, Sir, either on this, or any other subject.
