Phor. And that the old man is in a rage?

Geta. Extremely so.

Phor. The whole business, Phormio, rests on yourself alone; you yourself have hashed it up;[46] it must all be swallowed by yourself, so set about it.

Geta. I entreat you——

Phor. (to himself.) If he inquires.

Geta. In you is all our hope.

Phor. (to himself.) Look at this, now:—What if he sends her back?

Geta. It was you that urged us.

Phor. (to himself.) I think that will do.

Geta. Do help us.
