We repeat, to form an adequate idea of the suffering endured by the mother of Ben-Hur, the reader must think of her spirit and its sensibilities as much as, if not more than, of the conditions of the immurement; the question being, not what the conditions were, but how she was affected by them.
At length a passenger addressed himself to the respectable Hebrew for information upon the subject. "Yes, I know the meaning of the flags," he replied; "they do not signify nationality they are merely marks of ownership." "Has the owner many ships?" "He has." "You know him?" "I have dealt with him." The passengers looked at the speaker as if requesting him to go on. Ben-Hur listened with interest.
When the gloom of the burial was nigh gone, on the ninth day after the healing, the law being fulfilled, Ben-Hur brought his mother and Tirzah home; and from that day, in that house the most sacred names possible of utterance by men were always coupled worshipfully together, About five years after the crucifixion, Esther, the wife of Ben-Hur, sat in her room in the beautiful villa by Misenum.
But now, if we can imagine an idol, sensible of the worship it was accustomed to, dashed suddenly from its altar, and lying amidst the wreck of its little world of love, an idea may be had of what had befallen the young Ben-Hur, and of its effect upon his being.
"It is true," he said; "and the camel was the same and you saved the man's life." "And the woman," said Ben-Hur, like one speaking to himself "the woman was his daughter." He fell to thinking; and even the reader will say he was having a vision of the woman, and that it was more welcome than that of Esther, if only because it stayed longer with him; but no "Tell me again," he said, presently.
What say you?" The merchant's chin was low upon his breast; raising his head, he replied, resolutely, "The Lord liveth, and so do the words of the prophets. Time is in the green yet; let to-morrow answer." "Be it so," said Balthasar, smiling. And Ben-Hur said, "Be it so." Then he went on: "But I have not yet done.
They are dressed like Jews." "Who are they?" "Romans, as the Lord liveth! Romans in disguise. Their clubs fly like flails! There, I saw a rabbi struck down an old man! They spare nobody!" Ben-Hur let the man down. "Men of Galilee," he said, "it is a trick of Pilate's. Now, will you do what I say, we will get even with the club-men." The Galilean spirit arose. "Yes, yes!" they answered.
The effect was as if a door theretofore unseen had suddenly opened flooding Ben-Hur with light, and admitting him to a service which had been his one perfect dream a service reaching far into the future, and rich with the rewards of duty done, and prizes to sweeten and soothe his ambition. One touch more was needed.
"The kingdom cannot be of this world. Yon witness saith the King is but going to his kingdom; and, in effect, I heard the same in my dream." "Hush!" said Simonides, more imperiously than ever before in speech to Ben-Hur. "Hush, I pray thee! If the Nazarene should answer "
The sheik waited, well satisfied, until Ben-Hur drew his horses off the field for the forenoon well satisfied, for he had seen them, after being put through all the other paces, run full speed in such manner that it did not seem there were one the slowest and another the fastest run in other words, as if the four were one. "This afternoon, O sheik, I will give Sirius back to you."
