As this port was undefended, Phormio was compelled to return thither. The Peloponnesian fleet advanced in line of four abreast with the Spartan admiral and the twenty Spartan triremes the best in the fleet in the lead.

"Let us sit down, Charlotte," replied Calyste, gently taking her hand. "Is it true that your banner used formerly to float from that twisted column?" asked Charlotte, with a sense that the house was already hers; how comfortable she should be there! what a happy sort of life! "You will make some changes inside the house, won't you, Calyste?" she said.
