PHIL. You have given injunctions enough. Are you satisfied if I bring
back accomplished what you have enjoined?
TYND. Satisfied. PHIL. (_to_ HEGIO). According to your wishes, and
(_to_ TYNDARUS) according to yours, will I return, hither provided.
Is there anything else?
TYND. For you to return bad as soon as ever you can.
PHIL. The business _itself_ reminds _me of that_.
HEG. (_to_ PHILOCRATES). Follow me, that I may give you your
expenses for the journey at my banker's; on the same occasion I'll get a
passport from the Praetor.
TYND. What passport [5]? HEG. For him to take with him hence to the
army, that he may be allowed to go home from here. (_To_ TYNDARUS.)
You go in-doors.
TYND. Speed you well. PHIL. Right heartily, farewell. (TYNDARUS _goes
into the house._)
HEG. (_aside_). I' faith, I compassed my design, when I purchased
these men of the Quaestors out of the spoil. I have released my son from
slavery, if _so_ it pleases the Gods; and yet I hesitated a long
time whether I should purchase or should not purchase these persons.
Watch that man indoors, if you please, you servants, that he may nowhere
move a foot without a guard. I shall soon make my appearance at home;
now I'm going to my brother's, to see my other captives; at the same
time I'll enquire whether any one knows this young man. (_To_
PHILOCRATES.) Do you follow, that I may despatch you.
