"Gold to gold," the monk from the monastery could not refrain from saying. "And give him some with sugar in it," said the saint, pointing to Mavriky Nikolaevitch.
Demetrius was not alone, and as soon as he had introduced Marcus to his companion, an abbot of friendly mien, the monk warmly expressed his pleasure at meeting another son of Apelles, to whom he had once owed his life.
