This was more than had ever entered into my calculations or found room in my hopes. By a brisk appeal to them, it almost seemed that I might work my salvation in this eleventh hour. Madonna watched the scene with eyes that suggested to me that the same hope had arisen in her own mind. My halberdiers and the carnifex alone stood stolidly indifferent.
In an instant three others bared their weapons and ranged themselves beside him. The remaining two of whom was Lucagnolo folded their hands, manifesting by that impassivity that they were minded to take neither one side nor the other. The carnifex paused in his labours of undressing me, and the affair promised to grow interesting. But Ramiro did not stand his ground.

"I can bear it no longer," says one, rushing to the gate of the arena, only to find that he could not open it. The slave-girl utters a cry and steps forward and is caught and held by the carnifex. Vergilius urges the leopard. He steps quickly, feinting with his lance; the cat darts along the farther side of the arena, roaring. Its eyes glow fiery in the dusk.
I could not help noting how similar they were to the way in which a man would act who wished to return to some spot not easily found out, and with which he was not previously acquainted. A specimen of the Polistes carnifex was hunting about for caterpillars in my garden. I found one about an inch long, and held it out towards the wasp on the point of a stick.
That prince, in whose reign the founder of this ennobling religion was born, had delighted so much and indulged so freely in the spectacles of the amphitheatre, that Maecenas summoned him reproachfully to leave them, saying, "Surge tandem, carnifex."
I had sent forward half a regiment from my little command to open communication with him as soon as possible. On September 9th a party from this detachment had reached Cross Lanes and learned that Floyd was keeping close within his lines on the cliffs of Gauley above Carnifex Ferry.
McKinley said in after years that he looked back with pleasure upon the fourteen months that he carried a musket in the ranks, for they taught him many things. The regiment was sent into West Virginia, and its first engagement was at Carnifex Ferry.
"What is there in the howling of that slave?" he whispered. "I am weak-hearted." "I take it for a sign," the other answered, gravely. "It is written, 'Thy spirit shall be as the candle of the Lord, and, again, 'Thou shall hearken to the cry of anguish." In a few moments Antipater returned. "I have summoned the carnifex," said he, bolting the door and resuming his place at the table.
From Gauley Bridge a road runs up the Gauley River to Cross Lanes and Carnifex Ferry, something over twenty miles, and continuing northward reaches Summersville, Sutton, and Weston, making almost the only line of communication between the posts then occupied by our troops in northwestern Virginia and the head of the Kanawha valley.
