She had so spoken on purpose, fighting her own battle after her own fashion, knowing well that her words would confuse him. 'A woman hides such tears. She may be found crying because she is unable to hide them; but she does not willingly let the other woman see them. Does she? 'I suppose not. 'Medea did not weep when she was introduced to Creusa. 'Women are not all Medeas, he replied.
Still she persisted, with tears streaming from her eyes, with white arms upraised, on her knees even, catching at his coat, and beseeching him in broken accents. In her wild, fierce beauty and passionate abandonment she might have been a deserted Ariadne a suppliant Medea. Anything rather than what she was a dissolute, half-maddened woman, praying for the pardon of her convict husband.
AESON is amazed at himself, and remembers that such as he now is he was in his youthful days, forty years before. Medea used her arts here for a good purpose, but not so in another instance, where she made them the instruments of revenge. Pelias, our readers will recollect, was the usurping uncle of Jason, and had kept him out of his kingdom.
The daughters of Pelias professed a perfect willingness to abdicate the throne of Iolchos; but, before they retired, they requested Medea to do the same kindness for their father which she had already done for Aeson. She said she would.

Then they both made piteous lamentation over each other, and through the halls rose the faint sound of women weeping in anguish. Medea, sore troubled, first addressed her sister: "God help thee, what healing can I bring thee for what thou speakest of, horrible curses and Furies? Would that it were firmly in my power to save thy sons!
We knew nothing of his past history. As to his future plans, he revealed them by one day presenting to the head doctor for his signature a paper asking leave to open a Moorish cafe at Medea after his recovery, a request the head doctor felt himself unable to endorse.
She rejoined Aunt Medea, whom she found half dead with fright, and both advanced to the edge of the woods, which commanded a view of the front of the house.
