SCENE V.
Stratippocles, Epidicus and Thelestis.
Stra. to Thelestis]
Now, my Dear, thou'rt mine.
The.
Thy Sister, on good troth, as you'll soon find—Brother you're happily met.
Stra.
Has she lost her Senses?
Epi.
Not for calling you Brother.
Stra.
What a shame, am I transform'd into a Bro∣ther, the Time I cou'd go and come back?
Epi.
Be thankful, and receive your good Fortune without any Noise.
Stra.
O Sister, you've lost me as soon as found me.
Epi.
Hold your Tongue, Child. By my Art, I've secur'd your Mistress, the Musick-Girl, for ye at home; and by the same Art and Contrivance, have ransom'd your Sister.
Stra.
'Tis true, Epidicus.
Epi.
Go in then, and order a Bath to be got ready. I'll tell ye the whole Story at more leisure.
Stra.
Come this way, Sister.
Epi. going towards Cheribulus's House]
I'll send Thes∣prion over t'ye.—But pray remember, if th'old Man be in wrath, for you and your Sister to be o' my Side, and sweeten him up all what you're able.
Stra.
That will be easie to do.
[Exit Stratippocles and Thelestis.
