Her father had ordered two new dresses for her, beating down the price with the promise of prompt payment, when Mastor came into the steward's room and informed Keraunus that his master and Gabinius, the curiosity-dealer from Nicaea, wished to speak with him.
One piece after another passed through the dealer's slender fingers, or was placed before him that he might contemplate it; but the man spoke not, and only shook his head as he examined every fresh object. And when Keraunus told him whence this or that specimen of his treasures had been obtained, he only murmured "Indeed" or "Really." "Do you think so?"
"It is yours if you make a bid that suits me." "The light here comes the light!" exclaimed Gabinius, taking from the slave's hand the three-branched lamp which Selene had hastily supplied with a fresh wick, and he placed it, while he murmured to Keraunus, "By your leave," down on the centre of the mosaic.
Her voice trembled with anxiety as she spoke the words, for the dread, which, she knew not why, had so long been tormenting her lest her father should lose his place, seemed to affect her more than ever to-day. "What! civil words after what has now happened?" cried Keraunus indignantly, and as if something quite unheard of had been suggested to him.

It is only undeserved disgrace that can cost a man's life." "Keraunus was full-blooded, and the shock when he learnt that you were Caesar "
Keraunus was certainly not one of the most cheerful of men, but on the morning when Sabina came to the palace and the gate-keeper was driven from his home, he had worn the aspect of a thoroughly-contented man. Since visiting Selene the day before he had given himself no farther concern about her.
My eldest son bears the name of Ptolemaeus Helios that borne by the last of the Lagides, who perished as you pretend." "Dear, good, blind Helios!" interrupted the black slave; for he was accustomed to avail himself of the hapless child's name as a protection, when Keraunus was in a doubtful humor. "Then the last descendant of the Ptolemies is blind!" laughed the Emperor.
The second daughter of the deceased Keraunus is here, in this house; to-morrow early the children must all quit the palace, and now, while I am speaking, are at home alone and but ill tended."
I beg you to send me the cup, and whatever price you put upon it, I, of course, shall pay, that is quite understood." Keraunus had a brief internal conflict with himself.
