Perdition seize me, but I’ll marry her!
Thais. But if your father——
Chær. What of him? I know
He’ll soon consent, provided it appears
That she’s a citizen.
Thais. If you will wait
A little while, her brother will be here:
He’s gone to fetch the nurse that brought her up;
And you shall witness the discovery.
Chær. I will remain then.
