Agne had not lost a word of this narrative, and when, next morning, she felt the cold hand of the dead youth and looked at his drawn and pain- stricken features, she shuddered with vague terrors: he, she thought, like Dorothea's husband, must have hell-torments to endure.
You are a stranger here you say; you have run away from your master and you are young, very young and very... It is dark too. Where are you intending to sleep?" "I do not know," said Agne, and her eyes filled with tears. "That is what I call courage!" murmured Theophilus to the priest, and then he added to Agne: "Well, thanks to the saints, we have asylums for such as you, here in the city.
You may laugh, but by the nine Muses it was just like that. Then Papias grew tired and cross and kept asking where Agne was, till at last he began to cry.
Theophilus accepted the homage as a matter of course, hastily glancing at the child with his large keen eyes; Agne not daring to raise hers, for there was certainly something strangely impressive in his aspect. Then, with a wave of his long thin hand to indicate Agne, he asked: "What does this girl want?" "A freeborn girl parents Christian comes from Antioch. . ." replied Irenaeus.
Dada laughed with delight, wiped away her tears, flung her arms round the musician's neck and kissed his brown cheeks, exclaiming: "You are the best of them all! Make haste, and Agne shall come too; she must see something of the city." But Agne preferred to remain on board, so Karnis and Dada set out together.
On the largest of these islands, according to tradition, Agne, King of Sweden, was strangled with his own golden chain, by the Finnish princess Skiolfa, whom he had taken prisoner. This was sixteen hundred years ago, and a thousand years later, Birger Jarl, on the same spot, built the stronghold which was the seed out of which Stockholm has grown.
The philosopher exclaimed at once: 'The very thing! and they whispered together, and called the girls and desired them to show what they could do." "And how did they perform?" asked the old man, who was growing excited. "Dada warbled like a lark, and Agne well you know how it always is. Her voice sounded lovely but it was just as usual.
"You?" she said with bitter melancholy. "Are not you one of the Bishop's priests?" "I am a deacon, and Theophilus is the head of my church; but for that very reason..." "No," said Agne sharply, "I will deceive no one. My parents were Arians, and as my beliefs are the same as theirs the Bishop has driven me away as an outcast, finally and without pity." "Indeed," said Eusebius.
This was but natural, as she was at the head of the Christian women of Alexandria, while the household of Porphyrius though the master himself had been baptized was as thoroughly heathen as any in Alexandria. Karnis heard nothing of all this, for he came last of the party. Orpheus and Agne followed next to Herse and the steward, and after them came two slaves, carrying the lutes and pipes.
The widow Mary, in her later years, made many pilgrimages to holy places and saintly persons, and among others to Agne, the recluse; but she would never be induced to visit Cyrenaica, whither she was frequently invited by her children and grandchildren; some more powerful excitant was needed to prompt her to face the discomforts of a journey.
