Chapter 66

(_Fifteen minutes have elapsed_)

ENTER _Pistoclerus_ FROM _Bacchis’s_ HOUSE.

_Pistoc._

Rebus aliis antevortar, Bacchis, quae mandas mihi: Mnesilochum ut requiram atque ut eum mecum ad te adducam simul. nam illud animus meus miratur, si a me tetigit nuntius, quid remoretur. ibo ut visam huc ad eum, si forte est domi.

(_to Bacchis within_) Everything else shall come second to your commission, Bacchis,--to hunt up Mnesilochus and bring him back with me. Why, I don’t know what to make of his delay, if my message reached him. I’ll go look him up at the house here, in case he happens to be at home.
