Ant. My dear Geta, I love you all.
Geta. The commencement is just in this position, as I tell you: matters, at present, are going on smoothly, and your father intends to wait for your uncle till he arrives.
Ant. Why him?
Geta. He said he was wishful to act by his advice, in all that relates to this business.
Ant. How greatly now, Geta, I do dread my uncle’s safe arrival! For, according to his single sentence, from what I hear, I am to live or die.
Geta. Here comes Phædria.
Ant. Where is he, pray?
Geta. See, he’s coming from his place of exercise.[58]
