So abode she till wise Iambe with jests and many mockeries beguiled the lady, the holy one, to smile and laugh and hold a happier heart, and pleased her moods even thereafter.
She is still far from being ripe for salvation, and yet she has a gentle heart, and even if she has erred, she is not lost." Sirona's eyes had met his, and she said with a sigh, "You look at me so compassionately if only Iambe were well, and if I succeeded in reaching Alexandria, my destiny would perhaps take a turn for the better."
For some minutes she looked with a melancholy gaze at the image in the polished metal, then she sighed again; she picked up the little greyhound that lay at her feet, and placing it in her lap, showed the animal its image in the mirror. "There, poor Iambe," she said, "if we two, inside these four walls, want to see anything like a pleasing sight we must look at ourselves."
No doubt she feared his wrath, and was hidden under her bed or behind the curtain which covered his clothes. "The dog," thought he, "is still cowering by her " and he began to make a noise, half whistling and half hissing, which Iambe could not bear, and which always provoked her to bark angrily but in vain. All was still in the vacant room, still as death.
It would take neither food nor drink; its cool little nose was hot; and when she left the cave, Iambe lay panting on the fine woollen coverlet which Paulus had spread upon the bed, unable even to look after her. Before taking the dog the water she had fetched in the graceful jar which was another gift from her hospitable friend she went up to Paulus and greeted him kindly.

She had gold hair, and a rosy face, and the greyhound that followed her was called Iambe." "Where did you meet her?" shrieked the centurion. "In the fishing-village at the foot of the mountain," replied Hermas. "She got into a boat, and away it went!" "Towards the north?" asked the Gaul. "I think so," replied Hermas, "but I do not know, for I was in a hurry, and could not look after her."

He seized the little beast's collar, and flung it so violently across the room, that it uttered a pitiful cry of pain. The dog had belonged to Sirona since she was quite a girl, it had come with her to Rome, and from thence to the oasis; it clung to her with affection, and she to it, for Iambe liked no one to caress and stroke her so much as her mistress.
