But our door made a noise.SCELEDRUSWell, I shall watch here out of doors, for there is no way by which she can pass hence in-doors, except through the front door. PALAESTRIOBut there she is, at home. I don’t know, Scledrus, what mischief is possessing you.SCELEDRUSI see for my own self, I judge for my own self, I have especial faith in my own self: no man shall frighten me out of it, but that she is in that house. Points to the house of PERIPLECOMENUS. Here I’ll take my stand, that she may not steal out home without my knowledge.PALAESTRIO(aside) This fellow is in my hands; now will I drive him from his strong hold. (To SCLEDRUS) Do you wish me now to make you own that you don’t see correctly?SCELEDRUSCome, do it then.PALAESTRIOAnd that you neither think aright in your mind, nor yet make use of your eyes?SCELEDRUSI’d have you do it.
