Bill came forward cautiously, and, first shaking hands, satisfied himself by various little taps and prods that his friend was really alive. "It's all right," he shouted; "come and feel."

Even if his agonised entreaties and pitiable cries did not check you, were you not moved by the tears and groans which burst from the Roman citizens who were present at the scene? Did you dare to drag to the cross any man who claimed to be a citizen of Rome?
I broke from her embrace and retired to a corner of the room. In this pause, courage was once more infused into me. I resolved to execute my duty.
