The man who was attacked flung him on the pavement in the struggle." "Dion, the son of Eumenes, is the man," interrupted Iras, whose quick ear had caught the officer's report. "The woman is Barine, the daughter of the artist Leonax." "Then you know already?" asked the Macedonian in surprise. "So it seems," answered Mardion, gazing into the girl's face with a significant glance.
Our master's nephew, Leonax, Alciphron's son, will accompany his uncle and stay for a week or longer as a guest, not over yonder with Protarch, but here in our house.
"Then you ought to thank the gods, instead of accusing them." "No, for absence of suffering is not happiness." "And do you believe Leonax happy?" "Hitherto he seems to be, and the fickle goddess will perhaps remain faithful to him longer than to many others, for he is busy from early till late, and is his father's right-hand. At least he won't fall into one of the pits Fate digs for mortals."

The praise the conjurer had lavished on Leonax afforded her little pleasure; nay, she would rather have heard censure of the Messina suitor, for, if he corresponded with the dwarf's portrait, he would be the right man to supply a son's place to her father, and rule as master over the estate, where many things did not go on as they ought.
She had laughed softly several times while listening to his tale, and, when the girls hastily withdrew with Mopsus, cast a triumphant glance at Jason. Then, remembering how much was to be done to make fitting preparation for the young suitor Leonax, she called loudly: "Dorippe Chloris! Chloris Dorippe!"
I know you well enough, and Leonax, Alciphron's son, not your sleepy Phaon, whom people say is roaming about when he ought to be resting quietly in the house, shall have our girl for his wife. It's not I who say so, but Lysander, my lord and master." "Your will is his," replied Jason.
If Leonax was what Semestre described him, she would not repel him like the other suitors, whom she had rejected with laughing lips. Yes, she would become his wife, not only for her father's sake, but to punish Phaon. Sorrow and pain never felt before filled her heart after making this resolution.
The people in Messina are friendly and honor age, for, while you jeer at me, they remember the old woman, and will send me a beautiful matron's-robe for the future wedding." The invalid looked inquiringly at his daughter, and the latter answered, blushing: "Semestre has told me. She informed me, while I was cutting the cloth, that Leonax would come as a suitor."
"Attention," she said, "is the mother of every true success. It is even more needful in cooking than in weaving; and if Leonax, for whom my hands are busy, resembles his father, he knows how to distinguish bad from good." "Alciphron," replied Jason, "liked the figs on our arbor by the house better than yours." "And while he was enjoying them," cried the old woman, "you beat him with a hazel rod.
