HEG. (_to_ PHILOCRATES). Follow me, that I may give you your

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

Watch that man indoors, if you please, you servants, that he may nowhere

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. I wish attention
first to be paid to that matter. (_Exeunt._

several segments united, and the tire, which was of metal. Some of their
