At moments an unearthly noise was heard; at moments applause; at moments roaring, rumbling, the clashing of teeth, the howling of Molossian dogs; at times only groans. Cæsar, holding the emerald to his eye, looked now with attention. The face of Petronius assumed an expression of contempt and disgust. Chilo had been borne out of the Circus.
Morley's series he abandoned the attempt chiefly because, as he told me, he found that he should have to adopt too frequently the attitude of a hostile critic. Meanwhile Carlyle admired my brother's general force of character, and ultimately made him his executor, in order, as he put it, that there might be a 'great Molossian dog' to watch over his treasure.
The doorkeeper tried and the Molossian snarled at him. He called the footmen to help him. At that somehow, I both lost my temper and felt prankish. "Chase 'em, Terror," I called. "Chase 'em, Fury!" It was a wonder to see the Aquitanian obey, to see the Molossian obey was a portent.
Among the savage dogs of ancient times were the Hyrcanian, said, on account of their extreme ferocity, to have been crossed with the tiger , the Locrian, chiefly employed in hunting the boar, the Pannonian, used in war as well as in the chase, and by whom the first charge on the enemy was always made, and the Molossian, of Epirus, likewise trained to war as well as to the honours of the amphitheatre and the dangers of the chase.
The Aquitanian from under the litter flew at him with a snarl, the Molossian replied with a louder snarl, the two dogs clinched and tore each other, snarling, and hung to each other, worrying and growling and snarling, to the delight of my bearers. Out of the Satronian mansion poured a small mob of footmen, lackeys and such house-slaves. But not one dared approach the two dogs.
