They retire on one side.
Mys. You are out of your senses; didn’t you your own self?
Dav. (in a low voice.) Take you care not to utter a single word beyond what I ask you. Why don’t you say aloud whence it comes?
Mys. (in a loud voice.) From our house.
Dav. (affecting indignation.) Heyday, indeed! it really is a wonder if a woman, who is a courtesan, acts impudently.
Chrem. (apart.) So far as I can learn, this woman belongs to the Andrian.
Dav. Do we seem to you such very suitable persons for you to be playing tricks with us in this way?
Chrem. (apart.) I came just in time.
Dav. Make haste then, and take the child away from the door here: (in a low voice) stay there; take care you don’t stir from that spot.
Mys. (aside.) May the Gods confound you! you do so terrify poor me.
