CLEANTHIS, SOSIE

Sos. Come! Now, you see, this couple, Cleanthis. Will you follow their example, and let us also make peace? Indulge in some slight reconciliation?

Cle. For the sake of your lovely mug, Oh yes! I will, and no mistake.

Sos. What? You will not?

Cle. No.

Sos. It doesn't matter to me. So much the worse for you.

Cle. Well, well, come back.

Sos. No, not, likely! I shall not do anything of the kind, I shall be angry. I turn now.

Cle. Go away, you villain, let me alone; one gets tired now and then of being an honest woman.
