He was talking of trivial things, possibly telling the lady fair of the new ten-story Beacon Building or of Henry Ganse's golf score on the Emporia Country Club links anyway something of broad, universal human interest. But those things seemed to pall on her.
It was these ports that the Caerites refrained from robbing, and it was beyond doubt through this tolerant attitude that Caere, which possessed but a wretched roadstead and had no mines in its neighbourhood, early attained so great prosperity and acquired, in reference to the earliest Greek commerce, an importance even greater than the cities of the Italians destined by nature as emporia at the mouths of the Tiber and Po.
In a minute there was a fearful whistle long, piercing, and savage, and then they had taken the Peters Hardware stock in Emporia and dumped it on the Wichita Union Station. This time we saw a great cone-shaped cloud of dirt rise not 400 feet away over by the wagon road, across the brook from us. Still no one mentioned the matter.
All lands and all nations were laid under contribution for slaves, but the places where they were chiefly captured were Syria and the interior of Asia Minor. Ostia Puteoli In Italy the transmarine imports were chiefly concentrated in the two great emporia on the Tyrrhene sea, Ostia and Puteoli.
But complexity is no guarantee of accuracy in clockwork or in anything else. A clock can be as wrong as the human head; and a clock can stop, as suddenly as the human heart. But this strange poetry of plutocracy prevails over people against their very senses. You write to one of the great London stores or emporia, asking, let us say, for an umbrella.
"Well, you gentlemen are a trifle thick, sir, and we'll have to have them specially made, but I presume we may safely say $14 each, sir!" Henry did not even look at me, but lifted the wormwood to his lips and quaffed it. "Make two," he answered. The world should not be unsafe for democracy if Wichita and Emporia could help it!
It was as if someone suddenly had picked up the whole Haynes Hardware store at Emporia tinware, farm implements, stoves, nails and shelf-goods, and had switched it with an awful whizz through the air and landed it upon the sheet-iron roof of Wichita's Civic Forum, which seats six thousand!
And there was another significance to our packing to leave Paris. It meant something more than a homeward journey; it meant that for the first time since we left Wichita and Emporia in midsummer we were turning our backs on war. It took a tug to make the turn. From all over the earth the war draws men to it like an insatiable whirlpool.
Since, with the exception of the ports at the mouth of the Po, there were in those times no emporia worthy of mention along the whole east coast the rise of Ancona belongs to a far later period, and later still the rise of Brundisium it may well be conceived that the mariners of Epidamnus and Apollonia frequently discharged their cargoes at Tarentum.
