'Hush! said she, speaking quick and low; 'art thou indeed Apaecides? 'If thou knowest me, canst thou not recall my features? 'I am blind, answered Nydia; 'my eyes are in my ear, and that recognizes thee: yet swear that thou art he. 'By the gods I swear it, by my right hand, and by the moon! 'Hush! speak low bend near give me thy hand; knowest thou Arbaces?
Who hath so fair a plea Our welcome Guest to be, As thou, whose solemn hall At last shall feast us all In the dim and dismal coast? Long yet be we the Host! And thou, Dead Shadow, thou, All joyless though thy brow, Thou but our passing GUEST! At this moment, she who sat beside Apaecides suddenly took up the song: IV Happy is yet our doom, The earth and the sun are ours!
It was true that for Apaecides there was no retreat. He had taken the vows of celibacy: he had devoted himself to a life that at present seemed to possess all the austerities of fanaticism, without any of the consolations of belief It was natural that he should yet cling to a yearning desire to reconcile himself to an irrevocable career.
'Besides, added Calenus, 'if the storm does come, and if it does overwhelm the accursed ships, have we not prophesied it? and are the barks not blest to be at rest? for rest prays the mariner in the AEgean sea, or at least so says Horace can the mariner be more at rest in the sea than when he is at the bottom of it? 'Right, my Calenus; I wish Apaecides would take a lesson from your wisdom.

The vow taken the priesthood embraced he usually chose the comrades of his pleasures from those whom he made his victims, partly because he thus secured to himself their secrecy partly because he thus yet more confirmed to himself his peculiar power. Hence the motives of his conduct to Apaecides, strengthened as these were, in that instance, by his passion for Ione.
They lifted up their eyes when Olinthus entered, without speaking; the Nazarene himself, before he accosted them, knelt suddenly down, and by his moving lips, and his eyes fixed steadfastly on the crucifix, Apaecides saw that he prayed inly.
All was to his liking the flowers were fresh, the fountains played briskly, the mosaic pavements were as smooth as mirrors. 'Where is my daughter Julia? he asked. 'At the bath. 'Ah! that reminds me! time wanes! and I must bathe also. Our story returns to Apaecides.
They were now before the chapel; one hasty glance once more he cast around; he saw none near silence and solitude alike tempted him. 'Die, then, in thy rashness! he muttered; 'away, obstacle to my rushing fates! And just as the young Christian had turned to depart, Arbaces raised his hand high over the left shoulder of Apaecides, and plunged his sharp weapon twice into his breast.
