Lacedaemon was externally unquiet, because she was externally unequal, that is as to her helots; and she was internally at rest, because she was equal in herself, both in root and branch; in the root by her agrarian, and in branch by the Senate, inasmuch as no man was thereto qualified but by election of the people.
It was then that he reached forth to feel Ring or Whitie, immeasurably grateful for the love and companionship of two dogs.

He was already asleep, his cheek rested on his arm, and his hair fell wildly over a brow that now worked under the influence of his dreams.
