Enter Sophrona at a distance.
Soph. (to herself). Alas!
What shall I do, unhappy as I am?
Where find a friend? to whom disclose this story?
Of whom beseech assistance?—For I fear
My mistress will sustain some injury
From following my counsel: the youth’s father,
I hear, is so offended at this marriage.
Chrem. Who’s this old woman, coming from my brother’s,
That seems so terrified?
