"It is rather a silly thing to do," said Deucalion; "and yet there can be no harm in it, and we shall see what will happen."
My Lord Deucalion can drop his simplicity now, and fig himself out in finery to suit the fashion." "Girl," I said sharply, "be more decorous with your tongue, and spare me such small advice." "If my Lord Deucalion thinks this a rudeness, he can give a word to Phorenice, and I shall be whipped. If he asks it, I can be stripped and scourged before him.
Of the Thesprotians and Molossians after the great inundation, the first king, according to some historians, was Phaethon, one of those who came into Epirus with Pelasgus. Others tell us that Deucalion and Pyrrha, having set up the worship of Jupiter at Dodona, settled there among the Molossians.

But for to-day, Deucalion, I have you, and you have me, and there is peace round us, and some prettiness of display. If you ask for more I will give it you."
