Maria Theresa shuddered when she saw all this; but her strong will came to her help, and she went steadily forward until she reached the night-watchers. She awoke them and said, "Go, wait in the next room until I call you." Charlotte was already on her knees, praying. The empress stood once more irresolute, then rushing forward with a cry she leaned over the body.
"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.

Orpheus rested, with the lion and the tiger for his night-watchers, and the wild cat asleep in the tree with the birds. In the morning the harp sounded again, and the strange company wandered away, happy to be near the music.
