Ant. (apart.) Ah me! Geta, you have ruined me by your treachery.
Chrem. ’Tis on my account she’s turned off; it’s right that I should bear the loss.
Geta. “Take care and let me know,” said he, “as soon as possible, if they are going to let me have her, that I may get rid of the other, so that I mayn’t be in doubt; for the others have agreed to pay me down the portion directly.”
Chrem. Let him have her at once; let him give notice to them that he breaks off the match with the other, and let him marry this woman.
Dem. Yes, and little joy to him of the bargain!
Chrem. Luckily, too, I’ve now brought home some money with me, the rents which my wife’s farms at Lemnos produce. I’ll take it out of that, and tell my wife that you had occasion for it.
They go into the house of Chremes.
[ Scene IV.]
Antipho and Geta.
Ant. (coming forward.) Geta.
