She breathed quick 'I will prepare for you myself, said she, 'the summer draught that Ione loves of honey and weak wine cooled in snow. 'Thanks, said the unconscious Glaucus. 'If Ione love it, enough; it would be grateful were it poison. Nydia frowned, and then smiled; she withdrew for a few moments, and returned with the cup containing the beverage. Glaucus took it from her hand.
Oh, blessed stranger, in my heart is the urn which condemns or frees him! 'And thou wilt give full evidence of what thou knowest? 'Will! Oh! were hell at my feet yes! Revenge on the false Egyptian! revenge! revenge! revenge! As through his ground teeth Calenus shrieked forth those last words, Nydia felt that in his worst passions was her certainty of his justice to the Athenian.
'As thou and fair Julia please. Commend me to her; and hark ye, Nydia, when thou hearest her speak, note the contrast of her voice with that of the silver-toned Ione. Vale!
'Come, come! interrupted Diomed, with his cloak up to his mouth, 'the night grows cold; I cannot stay here while you prate to that blind girl: come, let her follow you home, if you wish to speak to her. 'Do, child, said Julia, with the air of one not accustomed to be refused; 'I have much to ask of thee: come. 'I cannot this night, it grows late, answered Nydia.
'Ask Nydia yonder, answered the Athenian, pointing to the blind girl, who sat at a little distance from them, leaning pensively over her lyre; 'she must have thy thanks, not we.

She sighed deeply, and her face darkened. Again she kissed his brow, and with her hair wiped from it the damps of night. "May the gods bless you, Athenian!" she murmured "May you be happy with your beloved one!
'If all the rumored scandal of Pompeii be true, it would be better, perhaps, if she had not ventured there at present. But she, poor mistress mine, hears nothing of that which reaches us; the talk of the vestibulum reaches not to the peristyle. 'Never till now! repeated Nydia. 'Art thou sure? 'Sure, pretty one: but what is that to thee or to us?
Stay, take this bracelet for the new thought thou hast inspired me with; remember, if thou servest Julia, she is grateful and she is generous. 'I cannot take thy present, said Nydia, putting aside the bracelet; 'but young as I am, I can sympathize unbought with those who love and love in vain. 'Sayest thou so! returned Julia.
Come, trust thyself with me, fair rival of the youngest of the Naiads! The vain Julia was not, as we have seen, easily affrighted; she was moved by the flattery of Arbaces, and she readily consented to suffer Nydia to await her return; nor did Nydia press her presence.
As this idea crossed him, he turned to one of his freedmen: 'Go, Callias, said he, 'forthwith to Sosia, and tell him, that on no pretence is he to suffer the blind slave Nydia out of her chamber. But, stay first seek those in attendance upon my ward, and caution them not to inform her that the blind girl is under my roof Go quick! The freedman hastened to obey.
