He had planned it all even to the amount of surprise he was to exhibit when he should discover about when he had finished his own dinner that they were just beginning theirs, and the extent and degree of pleasurable emotion he might venture on showing as he hastened over to greet them, and accept their offer to be seated with them, even if he had been so unkind as to dine beforehand solus instead of with them.
He had a great number of distinguished pupils, and was highly esteemed as a preceptor suited to those who had a poetical turn, as appears from these short lines: Cato grammaticus, Latina Siren, Qui solus legit ac facit poetas. Cato, the Latin Siren, grammar taught and verse, To form the poet skilled, and poetry rehearse.
People would have gathered there even at that early hour, women bearing vessels to secure their supply of the water, which, it was said, had an especial virtue when taken at the break of day. No mortal was allowed nearer than fifty yards to the well while the Keeper proceeded to unlock the lid. His guard would stand about, and with a haughty air he would approach the well solus.

Above all, would he turn out to be a comely young man, and bring my aerial castles tumbling about my ears?
I continued a member of the midshipmen's mess, but was not allowed to enter the berth: my meals were sent to me, and I took them solus on my chest.

By the laws of the Saara, a slave taken by any one of the tribe belongs not to its chief but to the individual who makes the capture.
