Davus. What! not believe it! as if you had not been told of all this before!

Simo. I told of it!

Davus. Ha! ha! Could you, of yourself, have discovered that this was all pretended?

Simo. I am laughed at!

Davus. You must have been told of it: how else could you have suspected any thing?

Simo. How! because I know you thoroughly, sirrah.

Davus. Meaning, Sir, I suppose, that this was done by my advice?

Simo. Certainly: there can’t be the least doubt of that.

Davus. I’m sorry, Simo, that you don’t yet know me better.

Simo. What! not know you?
