Sostra. ’Twas not my doing, nor my fault indeed.

Lach. ’Twas your fault, Sostrata; your fault alone.

You were sole mistress here; and in your care

You was sole mistress here; and in your care

The house, though I had freed you of all other cares.

A woman, an old woman too, and quarrel

With a green girl! oh shame upon’t!—You’ll say

That ’twas her fault.

Sostra. Not I indeed, my Laches.

Lach. ’Fore Heav’n, I’m glad on’t! on my son’s account.
