Thus run the orders which I brought with me from Rome. I will drive the low fellows together like deer for hunting, for they are all rogues and villains, and I shall know how to torture them until I find the right one." "The emperor will ill-requite you for that," replied Petrus. "They are pious Christians, and you know that Constantine himself " "Constantine!" exclaimed the centurion scornfully.
Did you ever love a woman, Paulus?" "You ought to be asleep," said Paulus in a warning tone. "Who ever lived nearly half a century without feeling love! Now I will not speak another word, and you must take this drink that Petrus has sent for you." The senator's medicine was potent, for the sick man fell asleep and did not wake till broad day lighted up the cave.
Sunday and Monday, who had been keeping it up in the kitchen, were called and acquainted with the state of affairs. "What, Massa Petrus," said Sunday in surprise, "what you do here? Am you got dat black rascal pirate with you?" "No; the pirate chief is dead. You will find his bones on the island Magic Island, as young Jack Harkaway named it. Yes, my revenge is complete.
Petrus stood still and looked round, and his grave eyes were full of grateful tenderness as they met those of his wife. Dorothea knew the soft and loving heart within the stern exterior, and nodded to him with sympathetic understanding: but before she could speak, he said, "Come in, come nearer to me; there is a heavy matter in hand, and you cannot escape your share of the burden."
But there are the quarries " Petrus did not let his companion finish his sentence, but interrupted him with all the warmth of youth, exclaiming: "And do you mean to say that fame cannot be won by the arts of building? Look there at the blocks and flags, here at the pillars of hard stone.
And this was the view of Petrus Thyraeus, S.J., in his Loca Infesta . The alternative is to believe in neither. We have thus, according to the advice of Socrates, permitted the argument to lead us whither it would. And whither has it led us?
Petrus was for taking the latter, but Hermas cried out, "That is not the way to our cave; you must follow me." "Follow thou me!" replied the senator, and the words were spoken with a tone and expression, that left no doubt in the youth's mind as to their double meaning. "The day is yet before us, and we will see what my laborers are doing. Do you know the spot where they quarry the stone?"
"How do you come to know her?" asked his father. "She lives in Petrus' house," replied the lad, "and as she had heard of your wound " "Take her my thanks when you go there to-morrow morning," said Stephanus. To her and to her husband too. Is he a Gaul?" "I believe so nay, certainly," answered Hermas, "they call him the lion, and he is no doubt a Gaul?"
Hermas went shyly and timidly towards the court of Petrus' house, and his embarrassment increased when he found himself in the hall of the stately stone-house, which he had entered without let or hindrance, and did not know which way to turn. There was no one there to direct him, and he dared not go up the stairs which led to the upper story, although it seemed that Petrus must be there.
Petrus had heard nothing but good of Paulus, and yet he measured him now with no friendly eye, for all that wore the aspect of extravagance repelled his temperate and methodical nature. Paulus was made conscious of what was passing in the senator's mind when, without vouchsafing a single word, he took the key from his hand.
