Tell Dion and Nolus to remain in the studio, and there to spend the night. They must be ready to go to the praefect if he calls.... Go!" Then as the girl made ready to obey, the Augusta put out her hand to detain her. "Wait! Hast seen Licinia?" "No, gracious lady." "She is not hovering somewhere near my room?... or in the atrium?" "No, gracious lady." "And the night-watchers?"
He dismissed the night-watchers from the room, and remained with her alone, till the sense of death oppressed him, and then the shock sent him to the window to look for sky and stars. Behind a low broad pine, hung with frosty mist, he heard a bell-wether of the flock in the silent fold. Death in life it sounded. The mother found him praying at the foot of Clare's bed.
These matron night-watchers two for a certain number of girls are on the alert during the night, remaining in a place called the "watch," where are suspended the electric bells, underneath each of which is the name of the girl occupying the room to which it corresponds. Light is supplied to every dormitory by means of a lamp inserted in the wall, and opening from the outside.
"On your side good-will, plenty of assistants and night-watchers; on ours, the Caesar's approval and plenty of gold." After this the transaction came to a prompt and favorable issue, and the architect could but express his entire approbation, in most cases, of the sculptor's judicious and well-considered suggestions. "Now I must go home," concluded Papias.
One stood with his face towards me, an Indian dressed in buckskin, the man who had pursued the deer. The second was hid by an intervening tree; and as I watched, the third faded into the phaseless dark. Who were these night-watchers? I liked not that business of spying though you may call it scouting, if you will, but I must either report nothing to M. Radisson, or find out more.
And then, brethren, when all the weary night-watchers on the stormy ocean of life are gathered together around Him who watched with them from His throne on the bordering mountains of eternity, where the day shines for ever then He will seat them at His table in His kingdom, and none will need to ask, 'Who art Thou? or 'Where am I? for all shall know that 'It is the Lord! and the full, perfect, unchangeable vision of His blessed face will be heaven!
These, with an occasional paw or snort from the side-lined herd, and the murmuring rush of the river over its gravelly bed, were the only sounds that drifted to the night-watchers from the sleeping bivouac. Towards one o'clock the sergeant of the guard came out to take a peep.
He dismissed the night-watchers from the room, and remained with her alone, till the sense of death oppressed him, and then the shock sent him to the window to look for sky and stars. Behind a low broad pine, hung with frosty mist, he heard a bell-wether of the flock in the silent fold. Death in life it sounded. The mother found him praying at the foot of Clare's bed.
The corpse still lay on the bed where its last breath had been drawn, and no one was with the deceased sovereign except two night-watchers, whose drowsy heads were buried in the arm-chairs wherein they sat. Death had banished ceremony. In the presence of their dead emperor, his attendants were seated and slept.
None save night-workers and night-watchers were astir, and these did not disturb in any appreciable degree the deep quiet of the hour. While Bax and his friend were conversing in subdued tones near the binnacle, they were startled by a piercing shriek, followed by a heavy plunge in the water, which, from the sound, appeared to be not far distant.
