Byr. (apart to himself.) My master has ordered me, leaving my business, to keep an eye on Pamphilus to-day, what he is doing with regard to the marriage. I was to learn it; for that reason, I have now followed him[55] (pointing to Simo) as he came hither. Himself, as well, I see standing with Davus close at hand; I’ll note this.
Sim. (apart to himself.) I see that both of them are here.
Dav. (in a low voice to Pamphilus.) Now then, be on your guard.
Sim. Pamphilus!
Dav. (in a low voice.) Look round at him as though taken unawares.
Pam. (turning round sharply.) What, my father!
Dav. (in a low voice.) Capital!
Sim. I wish you to marry a wife to-day, as I was saying.
Byr. (apart.) Now I’m in dread for our side, as to what he will answer.
Pam. Neither in that nor in any thing else shall you ever find any hesitation in me.
