He viewed this stroke of good-fortune with intense disgust: the shambling, weather-beaten animal between the shafts promised a long, damp crawl to the Lutetia. And on this reflection he yielded to impulse. Heaving in his luggage "Troyon's!" he told the cocher....
'And, Sir, how went it with the young laird and leddy? 'For the young laird a feckless, ugsome, sickly wean he was, puir laddie a knight cam by, an' behoved to take him to the King. Nay, but if you've been at Parish if that's what ye mean with your Lutetia ye'll have seen him an' the King. 'I saw the King, answered Malcolm; 'but among the Englishry.
The residence soon grew into the Palace of the Caesars; and then bridges spanned the river, and roads and aqueducts and faubourgs sprang into existence across the Seine, and Lutetia was swallowed up in Paris so named for a Gallic tribe, the Parisii, which had once encamped there.
In the evening of the same day Julian received a letter: it was from the Emperor Constantius in Byzantium, who did not acknowledge his election to the imperial throne, and threatened to bring an army against him in Gaul. This was quite unexpected, and Julian left Lutetia in order to march against his cousin. As he went towards the East, he felt as though he were going to his death.

And when in 52 B.C. the general rising of the tribes under Vercingétorix threatened to scour the Romans out of Gaul and to destroy the whole fabric of Cæsar's ambition, he sent his favourite lieutenant, Labienus, to seize Lutetia where the Northern army of the Gauls was centred. Labienus crossed the Seine at Melun, fixed his camp on a spot near the position of the church of St.
He had purged the soil of Gaul from the barbarian invaders, given Lutetia peace and security, and made of it an important, imperial city. His statue, found near Paris, still recalls his memory in the hall of the great baths of the Lutetia he loved so well.
"May it be with you according to your belief. The Temple shall be built up, even though it be not in three days as the Galilaean thought." The winter solstice had come, and the Feast of the Saturnalia commenced in Lutetia. The heathen had always kept the feast in recollection of the legendary Golden Age, which was said to have been under the reign of the good Saturn.
