The three most trustworthy ones are here: Amyntas, the leech Chrysippus, and the admirable Proclus. Let us hope that you will make this three-leaved clover the luck-promising four-leaved one. Your uncle, too, has often with praiseworthy generosity helped Arsinoe in many an embarrassment.

Then Hermon knelt before her, and, as he offered Althea his wreath, his dark eyes gazed so ardently into the blue ones of the red-haired Greek-like Queen Arsinoe, she was of Thracian descent that Ledscha was now positively certain she knew for whose sake her lover had so basely betrayed her. How she hated this bold woman!

The latter desired to ascertain whether the influential warrior who commanded the most important fortress in the country could be persuaded to join a conspiracy formed by Arsinoe against her royal husband, but he seemed to have left Philippus with very faint hopes. Subordinate officers and messengers also frequently claimed the commandant's attention.

"Our good black mouse-catching old stork looks shabby enough it is true," said Arsinoe, "still I am very sorry he should go away. If you had been at home, perhaps father would have waited to consider." Selene laughed drily, and her lips curled scornfully as she said: "That is the way! go on! two days before you are turned out of house and home you ride in a chariot and pair!"

"Aye that he is, and besides all that may I tell you something and will you stand by me?" "Gladly, so far as lies in my power." Arsinoe looked down at the ground in charming and blushing confusion and said in a low tone: "We love each other I am to be his wife." "Accept my best wishes." "Ah, if only we had got as far as that!

With these charms, at the age of five-and-twenty, the luxurious Antony could deny her nothing. The first favour which she asked of her lover equals any cruelty that we have met with in this history: it was, that he would have her sister Arsinoë put to death.

"Because you are not yet quite awake," laughed the steward. "How did this ivy-leaf get into your hair?" Arsinoe colored, put her hand to the spot indicated by her father, and said reluctantly: "Out of some bough or another, but now go that I may get up." "In a minute tell me how did you find Selene?" "Not so very bad but I will tell you all about that afterwards. Now I want to be alone."

Leaving Cleopatra, accordingly, a sufficient force to secure the continuance of her power, he embarked the remainder of his forces in his transports and galleys, and sailed away. He took the unhappy Arsinoë with him, intending to exhibit her as a trophy of his Egyptian victories on his arrival at Rome. The Alexandrine war very short. Its extent. Revenues of Egypt. The city repaired.

Pollux, to be sure, had had his answer ready for his master, and without considering how easy it would have been to part from him in kindness, he had shortly and roundly quitted his service. Now indeed he stood on his own feet, and he was longing to tell Arsinoe and his parents of what he had done.

The Rhodian Chrysippus, despatched by the Queen, delivered the wreath which the monarch bestowed, and informed Hermon, with her greetings, that Arsinoe deemed his Demeter worthy of the laurel.
