So I suppose I ought to believe it. But it struck me, while I listened to you, as the biggest lie I ever heard. I apologize for my incredulity." "It would be incredible," said Juventius Muso, "if told of any one except Hedulio and it would probably be untrue. As it is told of Hedulio it is probably true and also entirely credible." "Why of Caius any more than any one else?" queried Tanno.
"Well," said Muso, "I take it that any one of the dogs you saw run at Hedulio was affected by him just as was the bull this afternoon; each began by acting towards him as he would have towards any other man; each was cowed and tendered mild by the nearer sight of him. That is the way Hedulio affects all animals whatever." "Tell us some cases you have seen yourself," Tanno suggested.
And what the foremost does the others do Huddling themselves against her if she stop, Simple and quiet, and the wherefore know not." "Come le pecorelle escon del chiuso Ad una, a due, a tre, e l' altre stanno Timidette atterrando l' occhio e il muso; E cio che fa la prima, e l' altre sanno, Addossandosi a lei s' ella s' arresta, Semplici e quete, e lo 'mperche non sanno."
Speak out, Juventius!" "Before I say what I meant to say," Muso began, "I want to ask some questions. What you have just told me has amazed me and what little you have said leaves me puzzled. Surely there are dogs in Rome?" "Plenty," Tanno assured him. "Haven't you ever seen a vicious dog fly at Hedulio?" Muso pursued. "Many a time," Tanno admitted. "Did you ever see one bite him?" Muso asked.
Here in a cleft, under the very summit of Falterona, Arno rises, gushing endlessly from the rock in seven springs of water, that will presently gather to themselves a thousand other streams and spread through Casentino: "Botoli trova poi, venendo giuso Ringhiosi più che non chiede lor possa Ed, a lor, disdegnosa, torce il muso" at the end of the valley.
If things go on this way there will be no Roman nobility nor gentry nor even any Roman commonality; just a wish-wash of counterfeit Romans, nine-tenths foreign in ancestry, with just enough of a dash of Roman blood to bequeath them our weaknesses and vices." "On the other hand," said Juventius Muso, "while agreeing with Naepor as to the propriety of the tone, I object to the question.
"And I," said Lisius Naepor, "have seen fish in a tank rise to his hand and let him take them out of the water, handle them and slip them back into the water again, all without a struggle." "More wonderful than that," spoke up Juventius Muso, "I have seen lampreys feed from his hand without biting it, and I have even seen him pick up lampreys out of the water without their attempting to bite him.
She flouted him, derided him, and finally forbade him her house and ordered him never to dare to approach her. He kept away, sulky and morose and low-spirited. "After that episode she had a go at Muso, the only other bachelor among us seven. "Finally she fastened on Marcus Martius, who is not quite as rich as Muso, but yet comfortably well off. She married him day before yesterday."
Muso stared at him. "I beg pardon," he said, "but I somehow got the idea that you were an old and close friend of our host." "I was and am," Tanno asserted. "And know nothing," Muso pressed him, "of his marvellous powers over animals of all kinds, even over birds and fish?" "Never heard he had any such powers." Tanno confessed. "How's this, Hedulio?" Juventius demanded of me.
