The gods willing, I will not anchor until in the Bay of Antemona. The duty is urgent. I rely upon thee." A prudent man was Arrius prudent, and of the class which, while enriching the altars at Praeneste and Antium, was of opinion, nevertheless, that the favor of the blind goddess depended more upon the votary's care and judgment than upon his gifts and vows.
"She stops, and puts a boat over the side." "Dost thou see her flag?" "Is there no other sign by which she may be known if Roman?" "If Roman, she hath a helmet over the mast's top." "Then be of cheer. I see the helmet." Still Arrius was not assured. "The men in the small boat are taking in the people afloat. Pirates are not humane."
"The Messala is influential," said Simonides, thoughtfully. "Yes; but the next meeting will be in the Circus." "Well and then?" "The son of Arrius will win." "How know you?" Malluch smiled. "I am judging by what he says." "Is that all?" "No; there is a much better sign his spirit." "Ay; but, Malluch, his idea of vengeance what is its scope?
When the movement was resumed, Arrius led a division of fifty of the galleys, intending to take them up the channel, while another division, equally strong, turned their prows to the outer or seaward side of the island, with orders to make all haste to the upper inlet, and descend sweeping the waters.
"You knew Arrius the duumvir." "Quintus Arrius? Yes, he was my patron." "He had a son." "Yes," said Thord, his battered features lighting dully, "I knew the boy; he would have made a king gladiator. Caesar offered him his patronage. I taught him the very trick you played on this one here a trick impossible except to a hand and arm like mine. It has won me many a crown." "I am that son of Arrius."
"By the Nymphae!" said one of the friends, giving back the roll, "we may not longer say our friend will be great; he is already great. Our love will now have famous things to feed upon. What more hast thou for us?" "Nothing more," Arrius replied. "What ye have of the affair is by this time old news in Rome, especially between the palace and the Forum.
In the palaestrae of Rome I am not unknown. Let us to the course." Malluch lingered to say, quickly, "The duumvir was a Roman, yet I see his son in the garments of a Jew." "The noble Arrius was my father by adoption," Ben-Hur answered. "Ah! I see, and beg pardon."
What I am expecting to hear from you is, what Arrius says, and how he endures being left in the lurch, and who are intended to be consuls is it Pompey and Crassus, or, as I am told in a letter, Servius Sulpicius with Gabinius? and whether there are any new laws or anything new at all; and, since Nepos is leaving Rome, who is to have the augurship the one bait by which those personages could catch me!
"Art thou, indeed, a son of Hur, the Jew?" he next asked. "It is as I have said." "I knew thy father " Judah drew himself nearer, for the tribune's voice was weak he drew nearer, and listened eagerly at last he thought to hear of home. "I knew him, and loved him," Arrius continued. There was another pause, during which something diverted the speaker's thought.
Only the night before the dreadful day of which I have spoken, I obtained permission to be a soldier. I am of the same mind yet; and, as in all the earth there is but one school of war, thither I would go." "The palaestra!" exclaimed Arrius. "No; a Roman camp." "But thou must first acquaint thyself with the use of arms." Now a master may never safely advise a slave.
