Pam. Agreeable to me?
Char. Put it off for some days at least, while I go elsewhere, that I may not be witness.
Pam. Now listen, once for all: I think it, Charinus, to be by no means the part of an ingenuous man, when he confers nothing, to expect that it should be considered as an obligation on his part. I am more desirous to avoid this match, than you to gain it.
Char. You have restored me to life.
Pam. Now, if you can do any thing, either you yourself, or Byrrhia here, manage, fabricate, invent, contrive some means, whereby she may be given to you; this I shall aim at, how she may not be given to me.
Char. I am satisfied.
Pam. Most opportunely I perceive Davus, on whose advice I have depended.
Char. (turning to Byrrhia.) But you, i’faith, tell me nothing,[50] except those things which there is no need for knowing. (Pushing him away.) Get you gone from here.
Byr. Certainly I will, and with all my heart.
Exit.
