Exit Pamphilus.

[ SCENE IX.]

Manent Laches and Phidippus.

Phid. How perverse is this! (Angrily.)

Lach. Did not I say he’d take it ill, Phidippus,

And therefore begg’d you to send back your daughter?

Phid. ’Fore Heaven I did not think him such a churl.

What! does he fancy I’ll go cringing to him?

No;—if he’ll take his wife he may:—if not,

Let him refund her portion;—there’s an end!
