P. Terentius Afer
Hearing that his wife is ill, he rushes into the house to see her, and there discovers the whole state of the case  Myrrhina entreats him to keep the matter quiet, and he so far retains his affection for his wife that he promises to do so, and is wretched at the thoughts of a separation from her, though he comes to the conclusion that after this child's birth, the son of he does not know whom, it is impossible for him ever to receive her back into his house  Meanwhile he sees the necessity of getting rid of his slave Parmeno, who will otherwise be sure to discover what is going on  So he sends him off on two errands, the last of which keeps him fully employed at a distance the rest of the day
