The uncertainty of the personages respecting their own identity and duplication is founded on a sort of comic metaphysics: Sosia's reflections on his two egos, which have cudgelled each other, may in reality furnish materials for thinking to our philosophers of the present day. The most unsuccessful of Moliere's imitations of the ancients is that of the Phormio in the Fourberies de Scapin.
Their commissions, which they have no desire to lose, will make them tractable; for those gentlemen, though all men of honor, are of Sosia's mind, 'que le vrai Amphitrion est celui ou l'on dine'. The Tories and the city have engaged to support Pitt; the Whigs, the Duke of Newcastle; the independent and the impartial, as you well know, are not worth mentioning.

You can arrange that, Alopex, can't you?" "Easy as that," said Alopex, snapping his fingers. "Then you do it," she ordered, "and now take these gentlemen to Sosia's bathhouse and give him the tip that they are all right." Alopex acceded sulkily but obediently. That bath refreshed me amazingly and Agathemer seemed to enjoy it as much as I did.
