Here she stopped, out of breath; and, while she was identifying the landmarks which she had impressed on her memory to guide her to the right doorway, the temple wall seemed to open before her as if by a charm, and a kind voice called her name, and then exclaimed, "At last!" and in a moment she had grasped Euryale's hand and was drawn into the building.
"That black-haired fellow and his companions would whistle another tune if they knew any evil of her, and she would not be in the lady Euryale's company that is the chief point . But, look there! The shameless dogs are stopping their way! 'Green' to a man. But here come the lictors."
