But we shall see, after the performance that is about to take place, which of us two Caesar will decide for. This tailor has business here and will stay at my pleasure. Sit in the corner there, my friend." "A tailor!" cried Mastor, horrified. "I tell you he must go." "He must!" asked Keraunus wrathfully. "A slave dares to give orders in my house? We will see."
"Take my cloak and cover him with that." "Then you will be frozen." "I am used to it. How long has Keraunus had dealings with the doctor?" Selene related the accident that had befallen her father and how justified were her fears. The sculptor listened to her in silence and then said in a quite altered tone: "I am truly sorry to hear it.
In the rooms that had belonged to the deceased Keraunus now dwelt an Egyptian without wife or children a stern and prudent man who had done good service as house-steward to the prefect Titianus, and the living-room of the evicted family now looked dreary and uninhabited.
Yes she felt perfectly fresh! only her eyes burned a little; and if Keraunus fancied he saw anything new in his daughter it must be the glowing light which now lurked in them along with the playful sparkle he had always seen there.
Hadrian laughed coldly and scornfully, but Keraunus sprang on Gabinius with a wonderful agility for his size, clutched him by the collar of his chiton and shook the feeble little man as if he were a sapling, shrieking meanwhile: "I will choke you with your own lies serpent, mean viper!" "Madman!" cried Hadrian "leave hold of the Ligurian or by Sirius you shall repent it."
Arsinoe went without delay to see the little ones, but the black woman remained with her master, and told him with many tears, while he exchanged his saffron-colored pallium for an old cloak, that the joy of her heart, little blind Helios had been ill, and could not sleep, even after she had given him some of the drops which Keraunus himself was accustomed to take.
"Then early to-morrow buy a nice new dress." "Will there not be enough for a new bracelet too?" asked Arsinoe, coaxingly. "This one of mine is too narrow and trumpery." "You shall have one, for you have deserved it," replied Keraunus, with dignity. "But you must have patience till the day after to-morrow; to-morrow the goldsmiths will be closed on account of the festival."
To-morrow or next day you will be sold. To whom? That must depend on how you behave during the last hours that you belong to us." The negro gave a loud cry of grief that came from the depth of his heart, and flung himself on the ground at the steward's feet. His cry did indeed pierce his master's soul but Keraunus had made up his mind not to let himself be moved nor to yield.
"I do not allude to any mortal being, and the reward we work for is not gold and possessions, but the happy consciousness of having mitigated the sufferings of a fellow-creature." Keraunus shrugged his shoulders, and after desiring Selene to ask the physician when she might be taken home, he went away.
Keraunus received him with much condescension and allowed him to bring in the slave who followed him with a large parcel of dresses, and Arsinoe, who was with the children, was called. Arsinoe was embarrassed and anxious and would far rather have yielded her part to another; still, she was curious about the new dresses.
