Dem. They now get rewarded for it, who confound right with wrong.

Dem. How very foolishly, in fact, we have managed the affair with him!
Geta. If by these means we can only manage for him to marry her.
Dem. Is that, then, a matter of doubt?
Geta. I’ faith, judging from what the fellow is, I don’t know whether he mightn’t change his mind.
Dem. How! change it indeed?
Geta. I don’t know: but “if perhaps,” I say.
Dem. I’ll do as my brother advised me, bring hither his wife, to talk with her. Do you, Geta, go before; tell her that Nausistrata is about to visit her.
