Caligula himself led the way to the triclinium and Dea Flavia followed him.

"I only fear the men and they need not know," he said eagerly, even though at her words he had paused and turned back towards her. "Many of them have seen and heard thee." "Tell them I have escaped to the Palace of Augustus, through the crypta." "They would not believe it they would know it was not true." "Canst thou not trust thy slaves?" he snarled. "Couldst thou trust thine?" she retorted.
