Hedulio sauntered away and to my tree, beckoned me down and we strolled away as if there were no bear near: she in fact paying no attention to either of us after the cubs began nursing her." Tanno looked wildly about. "Boys," he said, "forgive me if I am dazed, and don't be insulted. I recall that Entedius prefaced his narrative with an oath to its veracity.
If you want to hear what really occurred, call in Agathemer; he was with Hedulio when it happened." "Good idea," said Tanno, "and I want Agathemer here for another reason. May I call him in, Caius?" I assented and Agathemer came in, as smiling and obsequious as always. "Agathemer," Tanno queried, "have you finished your dinner?" "Long ago," said Agathemer, "and plenty too."
Then Hedulio caught her by the back of the neck. She did not snarl but yielded to his pull and rolled over on her side. He picked up the cub on the ground and laid both by her nipples. They went to, nursing avidly, almost like little pigs, yet also somewhat like puppies.
Your lives are in pawn for his, let all your clansmen know in good time. "And more: if you dare, either of you, to move against Hedulio in any court at Reate or elsewhere in Sabinum for his participation in the brawls which you fomented and he fell into, I shall see to it that not your influence dominates any trial, but evenhanded justice, jealously watched over by my best legal advisers.
"Hedulio trotted him round the ring, calling to the owner: "I dare you to try all your signals. "The owner seemed to try, at first far back in the crowd, so confident was he of his control of the horse, then nearer, then standing in the front row of spectators. "The horse remained quiet. "So Hedulio rode him home and all at the villa acclaimed the horse a great prize.
Agathemer may after all, try to fool me and to shield Commodus, by pointing out some other man to me, at the crucial moment." "If you suspect him of anything of the kind," said Maternus gently, "just drive your dirk good and far into him and be done with him. I'll be on the lookout for any hanky-panky from Hedulio.
Keep an eye on it. Begin, Agathemer." "It is a shorter story than you anticipate," Agathemer began. "Hedulio and I had completed the final inspection of the estate. We had begun each inspection with Chryseros' farm and had taken the farms in rotation, ending up with Feliger's. We had inspected Macer's farm in the morning, had had a leisurely bath, lunch and snooze and had ridden out to Feliger's.
"Hedulio was walking toward him and the bull just stood and pawed and bellowed till Hedulio caught hold of the ring in his nose and led him off to his pen. "Chryseros, who had dodged through the little door into the barn and had slammed it after him, had peered out of it just before Hedulio reached the bull and had stood, mouth open, hands hanging, letting the door swing wide open.
"Never!" said Tanno, "and he never spoke of it to me. I'm Spanish, you know, by ancestry, and Spaniards are not Syrians or Egyptians. Horoscopes don't figure largely in Spanish life. I never bothered about horoscopes, I suppose. So I never mentioned horoscopes to Hedulio nor he to me." "Nor he to you of course," said Neponius Pomplio, "he is too modest." "In fact," said Naepor.
"Beware, Hedulio," he said as he dismissed her. "You Sabines will have three abductions to gossip over if you do not look out. I'm half tempted now to suborn some of the riff-raff of the Subura to kidnap this miracle- worker of yours and hale her to Rome into my kitchen to amaze my guests." When she was gone he resumed: "Everything is topsy turvy in Sabinum, woman cooks and tenant farmers!
