But, lest I make a mistake, tell me, I beseech you, beforehand, in what way it would please you to have this affair healed. Shall I speak, Monsieur, according to my conscience, or as usual when near the great? Shall I tell the truth or use a certain complaisance? (AMPH: No; I only wish you to give me a perfectly unvarnished account.) Good. That is enough; leave it to me; you have, but to interrogate me. (AMPH: Upon the order which I lately gave you...) I set forth under skies veiled in black crape, swearing bitterly against you for this wretched martyrdom, and cursing twenty times the order of which you speak.
