There is but one ground of pardon—if the deed was done not from stupid vengeance but pro publico bono.” The Warden made a motion with his head and with his outstretched hand, and, blinking, repeated, “Pro publico bono.” There was no more talk of Major Plut.
Their swords were already crossed and had begun to clash. The knights, each lifting one foot, bent their right knees, and jumped forward and back by turns. But Plut, seeing Thaddeus in front of his line, had a quiet consultation with Corporal Gont, who passed for the best shot in the company.
Then with his two barrels, one after the other, he mowed down two sergeants, aiming now at the gold lace, now at the middle of the triangle, where stood the staff. Thereupon Rykov grew angry and chafed, he stamped his feet and bit the hilt of his sword. “Major Plut,” he cried, “what will come of this? Soon not one of us will be left here to give orders!”
Plut. in Alex. When one of the combatants with the cestus killed his antagonist by running the ends of his fingers through his ribs, he was ignominiously expelled the stadium. The cestus itself made of thongs of leather, was evidently meant not to increase the severity of the blow, but for the prevention of foul play by the antagonists laying hold of each other, or using the open hand.
Alexand. 1050. Suet. Claid. c. 28. Strabo. lib. xiii. Pausan. lib. ii. Scholia ad Plut. v. 621 Aristoph, Plut act. ii, sc. 6, and iii. sc 2. Luciani, oper. t. ii. ed Reitzii. It is often called by antiquaries Tabella Marmorea apud Maffaeos, as it was first preserved in the collection.
The Warden, vexed that Rykov should torment him with questions, solemnly bent down his thumb to the ground, and then, with a wave of the hand, as if to cut short further discourse, he said:— “I swear by my penknife that Plut will not betray us! He will talk no more with any one!” Then he let his hands fall and cracked his fingers, as if he were shaking the whole mystery out of his hands.
Wordsworth has well observed the peculiar propriety of this reference to the examples of Harmodius and Aristogiton, as addressed to Callimachus. The goddess of Athens was supposed to have invented a peculiar trumpet used by her favoured votaries. To raise the standard was the sign of battle. Suidas, Thucyd. Schol., c. 1. On the Athenian standard was depicted the owl of Minerva. Plut. in Vit.
We will throw the whole blame on you who are gone, and on Plut, and thus we shall save the rest of your kindred. I bid you farewell, but not for long; there are sure hopes that in spring the dawn of freedom will arise for us, and Lithuania, who now bids you farewell as wanderers, will soon behold you again as her victorious deliverers.
The Bryant race of speculators would attack us at once with "the spirit moving on the face of the waters." It was not an uncommon opinion in Greece that chaos was first water settling into slime, and then into earth; and there are good but not sufficient reasons to attribute a similar, and of course earlier, notion to the Phoenicians, and still more perhaps to the Indians. Plut. de Plac. Phil.
I shall get them all transferred to my Tusculan villa. If I find myself with more than I want there I shall begin adorning Caieta. Please reserve your books, and don't despair of my being able to make them mine. If I succeed in that, I am superior to Crassus in wealth and look down on everybody's manors and pastures. Max. ix. 127; Plut. In July his only son was born.
