But it’s no good sending a stranger to him: you’ll have frittered away your time. Send him: (_pointing to Philocrates_) he will transact the whole affair, once he gets there. You can’t send him a more reliable man, one he would trust more, a servant that’s more to his mind; I may go so far as to say there is no one he would be readier to entrust his own son to. Never fear: I will be responsible for his fidelity. I can depend on his goodness of heart; he appreciates my kindness to him. _Hegio_ Mittam equidem istunc aestumatum tua fide, si vis. Very well, I’ll send him under a forfeit, on your guarantee, if you wish. _Tynd._ Volo; quam citissime potest, tam hoc cedere ad factum volo. I do wish it. And I wish to have all this an accomplished fact just as quickly as possible. _Hegio_ Num quae causa est quin, si ille huc non redeat, viginti minas mihi des pro illo? Have you any objection to paying me eighty pounds for him in case he doesn’t return? _Tynd._ Optuma immo. Not the slightest--fair as can be. _Hegio_ Solvite istum nunciam, atque utrumque. (_to overseers_) Take the chains off that fellow at once, off both of them, in fact. _Tynd._ Di tibi omnis omnia optata offerant, cum me tanto honore honestas cumque ex vinclis eximis. hoc quidem haud molestumst, iam quod collus collari caret. (_as slaves obey_) God grant your every wish, sir, for your highly considerate conduct toward me and for releasing me. (_aside, stretching himself_) I tell you what, it’s no unpleasant sensation, having that necklet off one’s neck. _Hegio_ Quod bonis bene fit beneficium, gratia ea gravida est bonis. nunc tu illum si illo es missurus, dice monstra praecipe quae ad patrem vis nuntiari. vin vocem huc ad te? “A good deed done a good man yields a large return of good.” Now if you intend to send that fellow home, inform him, instruct him, give him full particulars as to the message he’s to carry your father. Shall I call him over here to you? _Tynd._ Voca. 360 Do. II. 3. Scene 3. _Hegio_ Quae res bene vortat mihi meoque filio vobisque, volt te novos erus operam dare tuo veteri domino, quod is velit, fideliter. nam ego te aestumatum huic dedi viginti minis, his autem te ait mittere hinc velle ad patrem, meum ut illic redimat filium, mutatio inter me atque illum ut nostris fiat filiis.
