He is disturbed; he reasons with her, till, after one swift glance round, she lets drop her veil, bending towards him and their lips meet. As time flies her face is turned towards us, and lo! it is the face of Atene, and amid her dusky hair the aura is reflected in jewelled gold, the symbol of her royal rank.
