Meanwhile the Lacedaemonians with the Arcadian allies that had joined them, entered the territory of Mantinea, and encamping near the temple of Heracles began to plunder the country. Here they were seen by the Argives and their allies, who immediately took up a strong and difficult position, and formed in order of battle.
Up to the time that they moved into the Arcadian Flats and began to take Orders from the Janitor, he never had seen little Sunshine except in her Evening Frock. He had a sort of sneaking Suspicion that she arose every Morning already attired in a Paris Gown and all the Diamonds. And she supposed that he went to the Office every Day in his regular John Drew effect with the Folding Hat.
Meanwhile Cosma 'a light nymph of Messina, who replaces the 'wanton nymph of Corinth' of the Arcadian cast has fallen in love with Perindus, and, determining to get rid at a stroke both of his sister Olinda and his mistress Glaucilla, gives the former a poison under pretence of a love-cure.

"Angry!" said Ronald, annoyed at this sudden breakup of his Arcadian dream. "Angry with you! For what?" "She is waiting for the strawberries," replied conscious Dora, "and my basket is not half full." It was a new idea to him that any one should dare to be angry with this pretty, gentle Dora. "I will help you," he said.
So vehement was the dissatisfaction, that all the Arcadian and Achæan soldiers in the army, more than 4500 heavy-armed foot-soldiers in number, renounced the authority of Cheirisophus, formed themselves into a distinct division, and chose ten commanders from out of their own numbers.
“An unmannerly, Arcadian state of affairs. I am glad you like it. Perhaps it’s because you were intelligent enough to perceive that I was not in love with you in any sort of style.” “No, you were always your own self, unwise and reckless and with something in it kindred to mine, if I may say so without offence.” “You may say anything without offence.
