Pam. No, not at all,—as you are not acquainted with my sorrows, these nuptials were not in preparation for me; and no one was thinking at present of giving me a wife.
Char. I am aware; you have been influenced by your own inclination.
Pam. Hold; you do not yet know all.
Char. For my part, I certainly do know that you are about to marry her.
Pam. Why are you torturing me to death? Listen to this. He (pointing to Davus) never ceased to urge me to tell my father that I would marry her; to advise and persuade me, even until he compelled me.
Char. Who was this person?
Pam. Davus.
Char. Davus! For what reason?
Pam. I don’t know; except that I must have been under the displeasure of the Gods, for me to have listened to him.
Char. Is this the fact, Davus?
