Finding the field in a short time wholly in possession of Isaac, he revealed himself and joined him, returning to the city as soon as the darkness of the night permitted. Here is a little gleam of light breaking through Fausta's almost solid gloom. A smile has once more played over her features.
The princess now, with more of confidence in her air, again balanced and threw the lance which Zabdas had chosen this time with success; for, passing through the shield, it fell side by side with Fausta's.
Faustus lost his life in Africa, when he was fighting on the Pompeian side. Fausta's first husband was C. Memmius, from whom she was divorced. She then married T. Annius Milo B.C. 55, who caught her in the act of adultery with the historian Sallustius, who was soundly hided by the husband and not let of till he had paid a sum of money. Pompeius.
The Queen would fain inspire all with her light, bold, and confident spirit, but it could not prevail to banish the fears and sorrows that filled many hearts. Julia's eyes never moved from her mother's face, or only to rest on Fausta's, whose hand she held clasped in her own.
'The gods be praised! the gods be praised! I cried as I embraced him, 'Is not this better, Gracchus? 'It is, said he, with emphasis. 'It is a great boon. I do not deny it.

The quick, light foot by which I was disturbed was Fausta's. I knew it, and sprang to the door. She met me with her bright and glowing countenance bursting with expression.
At Fausta's side he received us as we dismounted in the palace-yard. I need not tell you how we passed our first evening. Yet it was one of very mixed enjoyment. Fausta's eye, as it dwelt upon the beloved form of her father, seemed to express unalloyed happiness.
So we rode along, slowly, because of the crowded state of the streets, and on account of my desire to observe the manners and ways of the people their shops, which glittered with every rare work of art and the devices, so similar in all places of trade, by which the seller attracts the buyer. I was engrossed by objects of this sort, when Fausta's voice drew my attention another way.

'My heart, I replied, 'has always been Fausta's, from childhood 'Our attachment, said Fausta, interrupting me, 'is not less than love, but greater.
