"And which even if you possessed them you neither could nor ought to use," cried Cleopatra, "if you really mean the beautiful words you so often utter that, as the nephew and heir of the great Julius Caesar, you intend to walk in his footsteps. Caesarion there is his bust was the image in every feature of his father, your illustrious model.
Caesarion and the woman's companion an aristocrat, member of the Council slightly wounded. Lictors interfered just in time. The young gentlemen were arrested. At first they refused to give their names " "Caesarion slightly, really only slightly wounded?" asked the eunuch with eager haste. "Really and positively. Olympus was summoned at once. A knock on the head.
But that must now be over. They will seek other amusements, whether with Heliodora or Thais I care not. If the woman had only gone before! When she caught young Caesarion " "Stay, child," her uncle interrupted reprovingly. "I know how much she would rejoice if Antyllus had never brought the boy to her house." "Now because the poor deluded lad's infatuation alarms her." "No, from his first visit.
His able and alert foreman found it difficult to follow him as he dictated order after order in his writing-tablet. The conversation with his friend was not a long one, for Dion had promised Barine and her mother to accompany them to the country. Notwithstanding the betrothal, they were to start that very day; for Caesarion had called upon Barine twice that morning.
It was flattering that they should honour her simple home by their visits, but she knew that Caesarion came without his tutor's knowledge, and perceived, by the expression of his eyes, what drew him to her daughter.

Before I entered my litter at Lochias, the boy returned, and I talked with him." "Young Caesarion loves Barine," replied Dion with grave earnestness. "Then this horrible folly is known?" asked Iras excitedly.
"Yet the fruit of every tree I planted degenerated and decayed. Caesarion is withering in the flower of his youth by whose fault I know only too well. You will now take charge of the education of the other children. So it is for you to consider what brought me where I now stand, and how to guard their life-bark from wandering and shipwreck."
Like your sister Charmian, she will shrink from nothing to remove an annoyance from her mistress's pathway, and it will hardly please Cleopatra when she learns that the two youths whose welfare lies nearest her heart Antyllus and Caesarion seek Barine's house, no matter how stainless the latter's reputation may be." "I have just heard of it," replied Archibius, "and I, too, am anxious.
Antony's son has inherited much of his father's insatiable love of pleasure. But Caesarion! He has not yet ventured out of the dreamland which surrounds him into actual life. What others scarcely perceive deals him a serious blow. I fear Eros is sharpening arrows for him which will pierce deep into his heart. While talking with me he seemed strangely changed.
