Enter Hegio, from Sostrata’s house, and speaking to her within.
Heg. Be of good heart,[60] Sostrata, and take care and console her as far as you can. I’ll go find Micio, if he is at the Forum, and acquaint him with the whole circumstances in their order; if so it is that he will do his duty by you, let him do so; but if his sentiments are otherwise about this matter, let him give me his answer, that I may know at once what I am to do.
Exit.
[ ACT THE FOURTH.]
[ Scene I.]
Enter Ctesipho and Syrus from the house of Micio.
Ctes. My father gone into the country, say you?
Syr. (with a careless air.) Some time since.
Ctes. Do tell me, I beseech you.
Syr. He is at the farm at this very moment,[61] I warrant—hard at some work or other.
