[ Scene III.]
Enter Chremes and Clitipho from the house of the former.
Chrem. Pray, what does this mean? What behavior is this, Clitipho? Is this acting as becomes you?
Clit. What have I done?
Chrem. Did I not see you just now putting your hand into this Courtesan’s bosom?
Syr. (apart.) It’s all up with us—I’m utterly undone!
Clit. What, I?
Chrem. With these self-same eyes I saw it—don’t deny it. Besides, you wrong him unworthily in not keeping your hands off: for indeed it is a gross affront to entertain a person, your friend, at your house, and to take liberties with his mistress. Yesterday, for instance, at wine, how rude you were—
Syr. (apart.) ’Tis the truth.[66]
