"That may be another example of her goodness of heart," said Daventry. "Rosamund seldom or never speaks against people. I'll tell you the simple truth, Dion. As I helped to defend Mrs. Clarke, and as we won and she was proved to be an innocent woman, and as I believe in her and admire her very much, I'm sensitive for her. Perhaps it's very absurd." "I think it's very chivalrous." "Oh rot!
"They are the sort of shepherds that go to sleep and let the wolves find the flock. They are not real Spartans." Dion and Daphne felt this as a terrible reproach. Dromas now had to go with the sheep, and so could no longer help with the other farm work, and the ploughing and sowing of the corn-field had to be finished by Melas himself. The Twins did their best to help.
The faithful man whom Anukis had found with Dion, whose name she did not mention and of whose home she said only that no safer hiding-place could be found, even by the mole which burrowed in the earth, really seemed to have been sent with Gorgias to Dion's couch by Fate itself.
Another equipage was already standing before the door of Berenike's house one of the carriages which were always at the disposal of the Queen's officials when Anukis left Archibius's vehicle. Had some of Alexas's myrmidons arrived, or was he himself on the way to examine Dion, or even arrest him?
Under the reign of a just and virtuous prince, the tyranny of the army threatened with instant death his most faithful ministers, who were suspected of an intention to correct their intolerable disorders. The historian Dion Cassius had commanded the Pannonian legions with the spirit of ancient discipline.
He wished that he could sleep. The dreadful inertia of Dion did not seem to be dreadful to Mrs. Clarke. Perhaps she was more intelligent than most women, and generated within herself so much energy of some kind that she was not driven to seek for it in others; or perhaps she was more sympathetic, more imaginative, than most women, and pardoned because she understood.
The willows bent over the sweet waters in the warm summer night; the Albanian boatmen were singing. "She must have had wonderful times!" The whisper came from an unseen woman sitting just behind Dion. His mind echoed the thought she had expressed. Now the Judge was rising from the bench and bowing to the Court; Mrs.
But his father observed, that his son knew his own mind, and what it was best for him to do. After this had passed, Dion addressed Maximilian again in these words, "Take thy arms, and receive the mark." "I can receive, says Maximilian, no such mark. I have already the mark of Christ." Upon which Dion said, "I will send thee quickly to thy Christ."
"It's all a mistake," she said, "arising out of stupidity, out of the most widespread and, perhaps, the most pitiable and dangerous lack in human nature." "And what's that?" asked Daventry, rather eagerly. "I expect you know." He shook his head. "Don't you?" she asked of Dion, spreading thinly some butter over a piece of dry toast. "I'm afraid I don't."
Hitherto Dion had been essentially honest and truthful, what men call "open and above-board." He had walked clear-eyed in the light; he had had nothing dirty to hide; what his relations with others had seemed to be that they had actually been.
