From behind, from the vast audience which, till now, had maintained an amazed stillness, there began to sound little bursts of laughter followed by a spluttering streak of hisses which were drowned in increasing shouts of amusement. The thing was really too absurd for legitimate disapproval. Ivan's heart stopped beating.
Leopold turned to Butzow. "Remove the traitor from our presence," he commanded, and at a word from the lieutenant a dozen guardsmen seized the trembling man and hustled him from the cathedral amid hisses and execrations. Following the coronation the king was closeted in his private audience chamber in the palace with Prince Ludwig.
"Antony is but a man," I answered, "and a man with many foes; and, being but a man, he can be overthrown." "Ay, he can be overthrown; but he is one of three, Harmachis. Now that Cassius hath gone where all fools go, Rome has thrown out a hydra head. Crush one, and another hisses in thy face.
The effect was, as if a murder had been committed in cold blood. The whole house rose up in clamorous indignation demanding justice. The feeling rose far above hisses. I believe at that instant, if they could have got him, they would have torn the unfortunate author to pieces.
