Trophonius having disappeared that moment, it was given out that the earth had swallowed him on the same spot; and impious superstition went so far as to place this wicked wretch in the rank of the gods, and to consult his oracle with ceremonies equally painful and mysterious. Tacitus thus speaks of the oracle of the Clarian Apollo: Germanicus went to consult the oracle of Claros.
So, when Clarian came to me, I was eager enough to put to his lips the wine of which I was drunken.
No, he's making across the fields; if he had a pitcher with him now, I'd say he was going to the spring in the hollow. Confound that tree! I've lost him." I proposed following Clarian, being really uneasy about him, but Mac entered his veto, "No, Ned, there's no need, and it's none of our business. Children like him have a hundred baby-houses we do not know anything about.
I was not less impatient than Mac for the night to come, for I was very anxious about Clarian, dreading lest some catastrophe was about to overtake him, and the thought was by no means pleasant.
The boy flushed and shuddered, but did not falter, as he replied, "Yes." "You must withhold it until you are well again. I know what it is." Clarian quickly withdrew his hand from the Doctor's grasp. "You know it, and yet here, touching me? Impossible! entirely impossible!"
After this, until the time of my receiving the lad's invitation, I neither saw nor had communication with Clarian, nor did any others of us. If he left his room, it was solely at night; he had his meals sent to him, under pretence of illness, and admitted no one, except his own servant.
For, as Mac had said, the lad was a protege of mine; he had been given into my charge by his sweet lady-mother; he had looked up to me as his senior and his friend; and I could not help feeling, that, if anything untoward should happen to him, it would be partly my fault. From the very first I had been strongly attracted towards Clarian.
I had half a glimpse of the Doctor's seizing his companion and clapping one hand over his mouth, as if to prevent him from saying more, but it was too late. At the sound of the man's voice I felt Clarian bound electrically.
