Syr. The thing itself will prove it.

Clit. Indeed, then, I am a lucky man. Syrus, I do love you from my heart.

Syr. But your father’s coming out. Take care not to express surprise at any thing, for what reason it is done; give way at the proper moment; do what he orders, and say but little.

[ Scene VII.]

Chrem. Where’s Clitipho now?

Syr. (aside to Clitipho.) Say—here I am.

Clit. Here am I.

Chrem. (to Syrus.) Have you told him how it is?
