least that can be expected; and things may not perhaps remain there.
The dishonour is sure; my misery is made plain to me; and my pride
in vain would hide it from me. The details are still not clear: My
anger is just and I claim to be enlightened. Your brother can
positively avouch that I did not leave him until this morning: I
will go and seek him, in order that I may confound you about the
return falsely imputed to me. Afterwards, we will penetrate to the
bottom of a mystery unheard of until now; and, in the fury of a
righteous anger, woe to him who has betrayed me!

SOS. Monsieur . . .

AMPH. Do not accompany me, but remain here for me.

CLE. Must I . . .?

ALC. I cannot hear anything: leave me alone: do not follow me.

SCENE III

CLEANTHIS, SOSIE

CLE. Something must have turned his brain; but the brother will soon
finish this quarrel.

SOS. This is a very sharp blow for my master; his fate is cruel. I
greatly fear something coming for myself. I will go softly in enlightening her.

CLE. Let me see whether he will so much as speak to me! I will not
reveal anything.
