Julian said at last. "Isn't it a lovely night?" "Yes. I say, I'm tired," she answered. "Shall I take you somewhere?" he asked. "Yes, do," she said. They moved towards the Circus. "Where shall we go?" Julian said. "Have you any pet place?" "I don't know oh, the Monico," she replied. The restaurant was right in front of them.
He promised me a rich Julian feast in Besançon, and was greatly affected when he found that the Englishman could give him Cæsar's description of his native town.
Julian himself, who was directed in the mysterious pursuit by Ædesius, the venerable successor of Iamblichus, aspired to the possession of a treasure, which he esteemed, if we may credit his solemn asseverations, far above the empire of the world.
"These walks will be the death of me," she said, "and all on your account, Master Julian Peveril; for if Dame Christian should learn that you have chosen to make your visits to her niece, I promise you Mistress Alice would be soon obliged to find other quarters, and so should I."
