Exit.
Geta. And I’ll go look for Antipho, that he may learn what has passed here. But look, I see him coming this way, just in the very nick of time.
[ Scene IV.]
Enter Antipho, at a distance.
Ant. (to himself.) Indeed, Antipho, in many ways you are to be blamed for these feelings; to have thus run away, and intrusted your existence to the protection of other people. Did you suppose that others would give more attention to your interests than your own self? For, however other matters stood, certainly you should have thought of her whom you have now at home, that she might not suffer any harm in consequence of her confiding in you, whose hopes and resources, poor thing, are all now centred in yourself alone.
Geta (coming forward.) Why really, master, we have for some time been censuring you here in your absence, for having thus gone away.
Ant. You are the very person I was looking for.
Geta. But still, we were not a bit the more remiss on that account.
Ant. Tell me, I beg of you, in what posture are my interests and fortunes. Has my father any suspicion?
Geta. Not any at present.
