Early this morning I came back to the city and to this spot; and as hanging about forever was of no use, I bought up the stock of the old oil-seller, who is asleep there in the corner, and settled myself in his stall, for here no one can escape me, who enters or quits Apollodorus' house and, besides, I am only forbidden to visit Irene; she herself allows me to send her greetings, and no one forbids me, not even Apollodorus, to whom I spoke an hour ago."
"Adonai! help us Adonai!" murmured the old man and he clung more closely to his nephew, who overtopped him by a head and who held him clasped in his right arm as if to protect him. The danger which threatened Apollodorus and his guests was indeed imminent, and it had been provoked solely by the indignation of the excited mob at seeing the wealthy Israelite's house unadorned for the feast.
"Apollodorus died in prison, but his incarceration had little enough to do with the Emperor's productions excuse me, gentlemen, I must once more look through the sketches and plans."

"I fancy," said the queen's shrewd friend, "that I followed you somewhat too late, and that when I entered the temple about half an hour after you having been detained first by Imhotep, the old physician, and then by an assistant of Apollodorus, the sculptor, with some new busts of the philosophers the high-priest had already given orders that the girl should be kept concealed; for when I asked to see her, I was conducted first to her miserable room, which seemed more fit for peasants or goats than for a Hebe, even for a sham one but I found it perfectly deserted.
But I struggle on, you know; and the harder I find the struggle, the more I admire my dear love's cleverness. Think of him, Di three different articles in three different magazines last month! The paper on Apollodorus, in the Cheapside, you know; and that story in the Charing Cross 'How I lost my Gingham Umbrella, and gained the Acquaintance of Mr. Gozzleton. So funny!
"Kiss him, kiss him!" cried the old woman, and the praetor took the head of the blushing girl in his hands, and pressing his lips to her forehead with a by no means paternal air, he said gaily: "Now I am richly rewarded for all I have been so happy as to do for you, Apollodorus." "And we," exclaimed Gamaliel.
Ere long she had learnt that Verus also had encountered Mastor, that her husband was residing at Lochias, that he had taken part in the festival in disguise, and had exposed himself to grave danger outside the house of Apollodorus.
Formerly he had been an eager and attentive spectator of the plays of Menander and of his imitators, Alexis, Apollodorus and Posidippus; but now when they were performed he stared into vacancy and thought of Selene. The prospect of going to the place where she was living excited him powerfully and revived his drooping courage for life.
When Apollodorus ceased speaking, Verus offered Simeon Ben Jochai his hand, saying: "I am rejoiced to have met a man of your learning and distinction. What would I not give to possess your knowledge for a few hours!" "My knowledge is yours," replied the astrologer. "Command my services, my labors, my time ask me as many questions as you will. We are so deeply indebted to you "
