To the vestal virgins he granted seats in the theatre, reserved for them only, opposite the praetor's bench.
Just as the praetor had concluded his report Argus set up a howl of delight and Antinous came into the room. Verus at once withdrew into the window and pretended to be absorbed in looking out on the harbor. "Where have you been?" asked the Emperor, disregarding the praetor's presence. "Into the city a little way," was the Bithynian's answer.
Verus left the room, and Antinous watched him go with much relief. The praetor's visit had filled him with disquietude, and had added to the dislike he felt for him.
"That almost sounds," said Balbilla laughing and pointing to her abundant locks, "as if I especially needed to conceal what is covered by my hair." "Even the Lesbian swan was called the fair-haired," replied Florus. "And you are our Sappho," said the praetor's wife, drawing the girl's arm to her bosom. "Really! and will you not write in verse all that you have seen to-day?" asked the Empress.

Something very unpleasant must have arisen to spoil the good humor of her friend's husband; and the poetess was sincerely sorry; for, though she herself had daily to suffer under the praetor's impertinence, she always forgave it for the sake of the graceful form in which he knew how to clothe his incivilities.
It appears, from the foregoing evidence, that we cannot determine what classes of bailees are subject to the strict responsibility imposed on common carriers by referring to the Praetor's Edict and then consulting the lexicons under Nautoe, Caupones, or Stabularii. The question of precedent is simply to what extent the old common law of bailment still survives.
