Dem. (apart.) Are you quite in your senses?
Chrem. (apart.) Nay, prithee, do take care not to injure your kinswoman.
Dem. (apart.) She is not.
Chrem. (apart.) Don’t deny it; her father went by another name; that was the cause of your mistake.
Dem. (apart.) Did she not know who was her father?
Chrem. (apart.) She did.
Dem. (apart.) Why did she call him by another name?
Chrem. (apart, frowning.) Will you never yield to me, nor understand what I mean?
Dem. (apart.) If you don’t tell me of any thing——
Chrem. (impatiently.) Do you persist?
