The latter are elected in the Assembly by open vote, two from the general body of Athenians, one from the Eumolpidae, and one from the Ceryces. Next, he superintends the Lenaean Dionysia, which consists of a procession and a contest. The procession is ordered by the King and the Superintendents in conjunction; but the contest is managed by the King alone.
"But do you not see that Anthony evidently thinks our son is guilty?" "Anthony is an old fool!" declared the marquis. Then pulling out his snuffbox, and stuffing his nose full of snuff, he said, "Besides, let us consider. Did you not tell me that Jacques is in love with that little Dionysia Chandore?" "Desperately. Like a real child." "And she?" "She adores Jacques." "Well.
Plenty of people in Alexandria practised the art of dyeing, and it was well known that Queen Arsinoe herself willingly mingled in the throng at the Dionysia with a handsome Ephebi, who did not suspect the identity of his companion. This was the information which had so deeply agitated Hermon, and then led him, after pacing to and fro a short time, to go first to Myrtilus and then to Daphne.
The king was old and no longer handsome, and when he tried the ring upon Dionysia's finger she hoped with all her heart that it would not fit. It fitted perfectly. The princess Dionysia was frightened nearly to death. "Will I really have to marry him?" she asked her royal father.
She had not left the house ten minutes, when one of those street-boys, who abound at all hours of the day on the great Square, appeared, bringing a letter to her address. They took it to M. de Chandore, who, while waiting for dinner, was walking in the garden with M. Folgat. "A letter for Dionysia!" exclaimed the old gentleman, as soon as the servant had disappeared.
It may not be out of place, in connection with a crisis wherein the existence or destruction of nations of noble gifts and ancient renown was at stake, to mention that Plato, who came to Tarentum some sixty years before this time, according to his own statement saw the whole city drunk at the Dionysia, and that the burlesque farce, or "merry tragedy" as it was called, was created in Tarentum about the very time of the great Samnite war.
Had they not committed an unpardonable blunder in leaving Sauveterre without any other precaution than to send word through M. Seneschal's servant, that they would be back for dinner, and that they need not be troubled about them? Not be troubled? And that to the Marchioness de Boiscoran and Dionysia, to Jacques's mother and Jacques's betrothed.
If Cocoleu pretends to be imbecile, or, at least, exaggerates his incapacity, then we have a confirmation of what M. de Boiscoran last night told Miss Dionysia. It would be the proof of an odious trap of a long-premeditated vengeance. Here is the turning-point of the affair evidently." M. de Chandore was bitterly undeceived. "What!" he said, "you think so, and you refuse to support Dr.
M. de Chandore, in spite of his vigor, was near fainting, although his face remained as crimson as ever. Nothing on earth could make him turn pale. "Great God!" he murmured, "what will Dionysia say?" Then, turning to M. Folgat, he said aloud, "And yet Jacques had something in his mind for that evening." "Do you think so?" "I am sure of it.
All the prisoners ask for that the second day. I had orders to let him have it, and so I gave it to him. When I carried him his breakfast, he handed me a letter for Miss Chandore." "What?" cried Dionysia, "you have a letter for me, and you don't give it to me?" "I do not have it now, madam.
