Pam. It is not my intention, father; I shall study my mother’s interests.

Going away.

Lach. Whither are you going? Stay, stay, I tell you; whither are you going?

Laches and Phidippus.

Phid. What obstinacy is this?

Lach. Did I not tell you, Phidippus, that he would take this matter amiss? It was for that reason I entreated you to send your daughter back.

Phid. Upon my faith, I did not believe he would be so brutish; does he now fancy that I shall come begging to him? If so it is that he chooses to take back his wife, why, let him; if he is of another mind, let him pay back her portion,[49] and take himself off.

Lach. Just look at that, now; you too are getting obstinate and huffish.
