His sense of security, in this regard, amounted even to imprudence; and consequently all who loved him, especially those who surrounded him, endeavored to make up for this want of precaution by all the vigilance of which they were capable; and it is unnecessary to assert that it was this solicitude for the precious life of my master which had caused me to insist upon the advice I had given him to shave himself.

"Oh, you cunning sage, now I understand the purpose of your allegory! And I will tell you to your face that if only a ray of light were to penetrate this gloom, I would not put the Lord on trial with unnecessary questions " "Friend, the light is already shining," answered Socrates. It seemed as if the words of the philosopher had taken effect.
They made their own pleasures, at which all classes were welcome, and invitations were unnecessary. This proved one of the happiest times of my life.
