"We do not keep intoxicants in the house." "Oh, piffle," he said. "Where is it, Horace?" "I have a little gin." "Where?" I drew a chair before the book-shelves, which in our old-fashioned house reach almost to the ceiling, and, withdrawing a volume of Josephus, I brought down the bottle. "Now and then, when I have had a bad day," I explained, "I find that it makes me sleep."
A more modest account, given by the historian Josephus, is likely to be accurate; but even he states that the fire which was kept constantly burning at the top was visible by seamen at a distance equal to about forty miles.
And the sect of the Christians, so called from him, subsists to this time." And I think also that it may with great reason be contended, either that the passage is genuine, or that the silence of Josephus was designed.
