Mic. There is a girl living with her mother.
Æsch. Go on.
Mic. This girl has lost her father; this friend of mine is her next of kin; the law obliges him to marry her.[75]
Æsch. (aside.) Undone!
Mic. What’s the matter?
Æsch. Nothing. Very well: proceed.
Mic. He has come to take her with him; for he lives at Miletus.
Æsch. What! To take the girl away with him?
Mic. Such is the fact.
Æsch. All the way to Miletus, pray?[76]
