Dem. He shall do as you wish.

Naus. Nay, that you may now know my determination. I neither forgive nor promise any thing, nor give any answer, before I see my son: to his decision I leave every thing. What he bids me, I shall do.

Dem. You are a wise woman, Nausistrata.

Naus. Does that satisfy you, Chremes?

Chrem. Yes, indeed, I come off well, and fully to my satisfaction; indeed, beyond my expectation.

Naus. (to Phormio.) Do you tell me, what is your name?

Phor. What, mine? Phormio; a well-wisher to your family, upon my honor, and to your son Phaedria in particular.

Naus. Then, Phormio, on my word, henceforward I’ll both do and say for you all I can, and whatever you may desire.

Phor. You speak obligingly.

Naus. I’ faith, it is as you deserve.
