If he consents and he certainly will take him with you to our uncle Porphyrius and wait there till I come; then, if all goes well, I will take you and Dada to your mother or, if not, we will go with Eusebius." "Dada to my mother!" cried Marcus. "But what will she...."
The farmer went off, leaving Marcus with a thousand questions still unasked. However, the young man did his bidding and went, hopeful though not altogether free from doubts, to find his old tutor and friend. While Marcus carried out his brother's instructions Dada was expecting him and Eusebius with the greatest impatience.
The appeal had its effect; Dada recovered her reason and tried to look up brightly, but her eyes were still tearful and heavy and she could only creep away into a corner and cry in silence.
For the first time since she could recollect anything Dada had spent a sleepless night. Whether the wind and thunder would have sufficed to keep her awake who can tell; but the thoughts that had whirled through her brain had been varied and exciting enough to rob her of sleep. Her own people who were fighting for Serapis how were they faring; and Agne what had become of her?
To-day the good woman could not quite make up her mind whether it would be wiser to warn Dada against Marcus and desire her to repel any advances he might attempt to make, or to let bygones be bygones.
The day had flown swiftly for Dada under the roof of Medius; there were costumes and scenery in wonderful variety for her to look over; the children were bright and friendly, and she had enjoyed playing with them, for all her little tricks and rhymes, which Papias was familiar with by this time, were to them new and delightful.
The secretaries and officers of his suite filled one boat and Marcus and his brother were getting into the other with their men. We, and others of the free passengers, should have been left behind if Dada..." "That pretty little blonde?" asked Damia. "The very same.
To the widow's threats of seeking the intervention of the law, she had retorted that they were not public singers but free citizens who performed for their own enjoyment; to the anxious mother's complaints that Dada was doing all she could to attract Marcus, she had answered promptly and to the point that her niece's good name would certainly out-weigh anything that could be said against a young man to whom so much license was allowed in Alexandria.
The sovereign has outlived his dominion, and when his fingers drop the sceptre few indeed will bewail him, for the new King has already mounted the throne and His is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever! Amen." Dada had listened to the deacon's address with no particular interest, but the conclusion struck her attention.
Dada as she gazed after him colored with vexation; again she had done a thing that Herse and which she regretted still more that Agne would certainly disapprove of. The stranger whom she had tried to draw into a flirtation was a really chivalrous man.
