He glanced over the letter, and for some moments the irregular lines traced by the blind girl's hand puzzled him. Suddenly, however, his countenance exhibited emotion and surprise.
Speak the truth to me, and you shall be rewarded; refuse to answer, or lie to me, and I swear by the Cross that you shall suffer. Who was the woman that died here yesterday? The freedman answered without hesitation, telling the same story Basil had already heard from Petronilla. 'Good. She has been buried? 'She was carried out before dawn.
"What has happened?" cried his mother in some anxiety, for she concluded from his dishevelled hair and heated cheeks that the meeting had gone anything rather than smoothly. "Incredible things," he replied. "Paula fought like a lioness for her father's freedman..." "Simply to annoy us and put us in a difficulty," replied Neforis. "No, no, Mother," replied Orion with some warmth.

How short was the life of the nights of our pleasance!
