Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘What’s the matter with you—to be tired like this so soon, and especially of women? Are you serious? No, sit down! By God, before you go I’ve some business to talk to you about—to discuss what it would be sensible to do.’
And everyone who was round them then, and heard that, went and stood at a distance while the two of them transacted whatever business they wished.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 「こんなに早く退屈なさるなんてどうなさったの？特に女たちのおしゃべりに？お帰りにならなければいけないの？いけないわ、お座りになって。誓って、まだ用が残っているわ。叔父様がおいとまなさる前に、大事な事を相談するってことよ。」その時、それを開いた周りにいた人たちは皆、座をはずして距離を開けて立ったので、二人はやっておきたいことをすべてやり遂げられた。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “不忙，我的舅父，该不是我得罪了你。你怎么忽而厌烦起来了？难道见不得我们女子吗？请再坐一下，我还有话要同你谈呢，有事想请教你。”旁人听了这话都站了起来，好让出他俩去自由谈话，无所顾忌。

Comments from the Editor

Pandarus feigned his departure shortly after his arrival, and the servants of Criseyde appeared to understand his intention, moving away and positioning themselves at a distance.
