Par. It’s this you mean to say now, that we are discarded there. Hark you, there are vicissitudes in all things.
Gna. For the next six months, Parmeno, I’ll set you at ease; you sha’n’t have to be running to and fro, or sitting up till daylight. Don’t I make you happy?
Par. Me? O prodigiously!
Gna. That’s my way with my friends.
Par. I commend you.
Gna. I’m detaining you; perhaps you were about to go somewhere else.
Par. Nowhere.
Gna. In that case then, lend me your services a little; let me be introduced to her.
Par. Very well; (Gnatho knocks at the door, which immediately opens) now the door is open for you, (aside) because you are bringing her.
Gna. (going into the house of Thais, ironically.) Should you like any one to be called out from here?
