Crat. What, do you wish me to speak? I should like you to do what is most for your advantage; it is my opinion, that what this son of yours has done in your absence, in law and justice ought to be annulled; and that you’ll obtain redress. That’s my opinion.
Dem. Say now, Hegio.
Heg. I believe that he has spoken with due deliberation; but it is the fact, “as many men, so many minds;”[55] every one his own way. It doesn’t appear to me that what has been done by law can be revoked; and it is wrong to attempt it.
Dem. Speak, Crito.
Crit. I am of opinion that we must deliberate further;[56] it is a matter of importance.
Heg. Do you want any thing further with us?
Dem. You have done very well. (Exeunt Assistants.) I am much more at a loss[57] than before.
Re-enter Geta, from the house.
Geta. They say that he has not come back.
Dem. I must wait for my brother. The advice that he gives me about this matter, I shall follow. I’ll go make inquiry at the harbor, when he is to come back.
