As the three mingled with the thousands who were in a very leisurely manner wending their way down the steps to the ground, Aurelius Lucanus drew her frail hand through his arm and said, gently: "What hast thou, dearest? Art thou not well?"
He enjoyed hearing me chatter in English, and wished to make of me, as he said, a thorough gentleman. The butterflies labeled, Dr. Weber at last opened the box of the largest insects, and said: "Yesterday I secured a magnificent horn beetle, the great Lucanus cervus of the oaks of the Hartz. It has this peculiarity the right claw divides in five branches. It's a rare specimen."
Aurelius Lucanus was, like many another pagan, no great believer in the gods, although, partly from regard to prevailing sentiment, partly because of his business relations, he outwardly gave attention to the formal customs of the day.
'Have you read the ancient ones? asked Laura. 'I've had nothing else to read. 'Nothing to read but ancient books! exclaimed Amabel, with a mixture of pity and astonishment. 'Sanchoniathon, Manetho, Berosus, and Ocellus Lucanus! said Guy, smiling. 'There, Amy, said Charles, 'if he has the Vicar of Wakefield among his ancient books, you need not pity him.

"Woe! woe to the house of Lucanus!" she cried shrilly. "Your feasting shall be turned into sorrow, your rejoicing shall be changed into mourning and the voice of weeping shall be heard, a mother weeping for her daughter, a father bemoaning the loss of his children, a bridegroom grieving over a lost bride. Woe! Woe!" Virgilia and her mother were clinging to each other.
What a medly of opinions have they not broached upon the creation of the world? Sanconiathon, Manetho, Berosus, and Ocellus Lucanus, have all attempted it in vain. The latter has these words, Anarchon ara kai atelutaion to pan, which imply that all things have neither beginning nor end.
