"I believe you have, Pompey," said Evadne soberly, "for you do your work just as perfectly whether Uncle Lawrence is going to see it or not. It almost seems as if you were trying to please someone out of sight." Pompey drew himself up to his full height.
The entreaty passed apparently unheard, for looking up and nestling in his embrace, she said, slowly, "The vision which followed me was of magnificent war war on land and sea with clashing of arms and rush of armies, as if Caesar and Pompey were come again, and Octavius and Antony.
In defending Milo, whether the cause were good or bad, he did not blench. He joined the Republican army in Macedonia though he distrusted Pompey and his companions.

Pompey receiving the submission, sent letters to Metellus, commanding him to leave off the war; and others in like manner to the cities, in which he charged them not to yield any obedience to the commands of Metellus.
