Tituba was in the "circle" or an attendant and inspirer of the "circle" from the first; and had marvelous things to tell. How it was that the "children" turned against her and accused her, I do not know; but probably she had practised so much upon them in various ways, that she really was guilty of trying to do the things she was charged with. "Tituba, why do you hurt these children?"
I could not have imagined that anything of the kind could have distracted my attention, holding, as I did, the woman I loved, whose charms were sufficient to captivate all the senses; but the strange strife of the two young Menads took up her attention as well as mine. "Your attendant," said she, "must be a boy, not a girl." "But," said I, "you saw her breasts."
"I'll come back to tell you whether I'll take it or not, and what I want done to it, if I do." "Another gentleman was in to-day looking at that bag," said the attendant. "If he comes before you, I must let him have it." "What price did you make for him?" asked Nick. "Seven hundred and seventy-five dollars," was the reply. "Well, will you do a little gamble?
Such a wild belief in child-sacrifice by the Jews was widespread in the Middle Ages, and is largely responsible, I understand, even at the present day, for the Jewish massacres in Russia. Think of the wild liar who first put that fearful thought into the mind of Europe! Think of the holocausts of human lives, and all the attendant agony of which his diabolical invention has been the cause!
She knew I was to have Cary for my only attendant, but she begged so innocently to come to the bridesmaid's dinner and to sit with the family behind the white ribbon, that I hadn't the heart to say no. That is why she was at the dinner, and what happened there you shall hear presently. Arthur Beguelin was the Angel's best man. He, too, was Aubrey's sole attendant, for we had no ushers.
An hour or so later, after the last heat had been run, a steward of the ceremonies called aloud to the remaining competitors to select their passengers and prepare for the final contest. Accordingly each Jehu, leaving his horse in charge of an attendant, stepped up to some young lady who evidently was waiting for him, and led her by the hand to his sledge.
She was going to be asked to act as nurse, perhaps attendant and guardian, to this morbid invalid with the injured mind and body. "But how would I be any better for him than a regular trained nurse?" she wondered. "And they said he had an attendant." She looked questioningly at the pair. "Where does my part come in?" she asked with a certain sweet directness which was sometimes hers.
The three youths thereupon raised their voices together in a hymn of praise to God, thanking Him for His miraculous help. The Chaldeans observed the three men pacing up and down quietly in the furnace, followed by a fourth the angel Gabriel as by an attendant.
No sooner does the hapless attendant make his appearance with the eatables than these two persons spring simultaneously to their feet, apparently in a towering rage, and chase him back out of the room, meanwhile pursuing him with a torrent of angry words; they then return to their respective positions and respective occupations.
"The unseemly interruption is a sufficient introduction to the company. I need not, my friends, present to you my turbulent son Edmund, or the attendant he has picked up." "No need whatsoever, if you will first allow us to explain the reasons of our presence here. We have somewhat startling news from the enemy." "The enemy, by my last advices, lies quiet in the Isle of Wight," said Edric.
