Today's saying comes up early in the play, when a slave has come to tell Charinus the good news: the Pamphilus is getting married to the girl next door. Curious? You can read an English translation at Google Books. Our hero marries his beloved, his best friend marries the girl next door, and everyone lives happily ever after. It turns out the girl from Andros is really the long lost daughter of the family next daughter, and hence sister to the girl next door. Of course, everything works out well in the end.
