Euclio returns from his house
Euclio (aside). The gods favor me; my property’s all safe. If nothing’s lost, it’s safe. I was dreadfully afraid before I went indoors. I was almost dead. (Aloud.) I’m come back to you, Megadorus, if you wish to say anything to me.
Megadorus. I thank you. I beg that as to what I shall inquire of you, you’ll not hesitate to speak out boldly.
Euclio. So long, indeed, as you inquire nothing that I mayn’t choose to speak out upon.
Megadorus. Tell me, of what sort of family do you consider me to be sprung?
Euclio. Of a good one.
Megadorus. What do you think about my character?
Euclio. It’s a good one.
Megadorus. What of my conduct?
Euclio. Neither bad nor dishonest.
