SCENE III.
Enter STEPHANIUM, from the house.Step.
Spectators, let it not your wonder raise,
That I, who live at that house, came out hence!
The reason is, that I but now was sent for,
Upon the news their husbands were expected
By our two ladies—We all hurried thither
To strew the couches, and see all things nice.
But I found time not to neglect my friends,
And got the supper dress'd here for my Stichus,
And fellow-servant—Stichus is our caterer.
And for the cooking, I've a deputy.
Now I'll be gone, and ready to receive
My guests—I see them coming—
