At this point Claudius flared up, and expressed his wrath with as big a growl as he could manage. He had ordered her head to be chopped off. For all the notice the others took of him, they might have been his own freedmen. Then Hercules said, "You just listen to me, and 7 stop playing the fool.
The lights in the car flared up, blinding white, but the two men on the step did not stir. The conductor sat with his arms folded on his knees, his head on his arms.
