I'll have no magnates of such overweening behavior. I am jealous of my prerogatives, more than jealous! "I know what you intend and what you can accomplish by your henchmen. I comprehend that hundreds of stilettos are being sharpened, up there in the Sabine Hills, and down here in the slums, for a chance at Hedulio. "Now I can do much by legal authority and more by personal prerogative. Be quick.
Somewhere in the Etrurian hills north of Arretium I overheard part of a conversation between Maternus and Caburus. They were talking of me and Agathemer. "You cannot be sure," said Maternus. "By every rule of reason Hedulio ought to hate Commodus consumedly.
As long as he kept on pushing Chryseros was more scared than hurt; but, sooner or later, the bull was certain to draw back, lunge, and skewer Chryseros on one or the other of his horns. "When I first saw them Chryseros and the bull were as I have described. Hedulio was twisting the bull's tail. "The bull paid no more attention to the tail-twisting than if Hedulio had been in the moon.
"Never saw him do it," Tanno declared. "Never heard of it from Nemestronia, and she'll talk 'leopard' by the hour, if you let her. Never suspected any such sorcery from Hedulio. How does he do it? Expound his methods." "Very simple," said Agathemer. "He calls to her or he walks in front of her.
"Well," said Muso, "I take it that any one of the dogs you saw run at Hedulio was affected by him just as was the bull this afternoon; each began by acting towards him as he would have towards any other man; each was cowed and tendered mild by the nearer sight of him. That is the way Hedulio affects all animals whatever." "Tell us some cases you have seen yourself," Tanno suggested.
"Fine trees, fine flowers and I say, what a jewel of a slave-girl, eh! Hedulio!"
But, after much discussion, we are agreed that you have some chance of life as Phorbas the slave, accused of murdering his master, whereas you have no chance at all as Andivius Hedulio, proscribed along with Egnatius Capito.
Tanno turned to Agathemer. "Do you feel that way too?" he demanded. "I most certainly do," said Agathemer, "I have a feeling that my remaining a slave is going to be of vital service to Hedulio, somehow, sometime." "Then you are content to remain a slave?" Tanno queried.
At the Palace I found the tale of the leopard had reached the ears of the Emperor. He congratulated me, saying: "You are not only a good fighter, Hedulio, but also incredibly bold and marvellously favored by the gods." Tanno was at the Palace to say farewell for the summer, as he was off for Baiae to enjoy the scenery and sea-breezes. "I envy you," said Commodus.
I had an uncle at Amiternum and it happened that Hedulio's uncle allowed him to go with me once when my father visited his brother. My uncle had a farm high up in the mountains east of Amiternum and Hedulio and I there revelled in wildness wilder than anything hereabouts. We had no fear and ranged the hillsides, ravines and pine-woods eager and unafraid.
