In order to do it I past my time in bottling up Maydew, inventing white-washes, mixing colours, cutting out patches, consulting my glass, suiting my complexion, tearing off my tucker, sinking my stays Rhadamanthus, without hearing her out, gave the sign to take her off.
Mars, Nemesis, and Ate, Pluto, Rhadamanthus, and Minos, the Fates and the Furies, together with Charon, Calumnia, Bellona, and all such objectionable divinities, were requested to disappear for ever from the Low Countries; while in their stead were confidently invoked Jupiter, Apollo, Triptolemus, and last, though not least, Rhetorica.
And she held out her hand. "The book's too heavy for you to hold," said he. "I'll come round," said Dolly. So she went round and leant over his shoulder and read the book. "What's that scent you've got on?" asked Rhadamanthus. "Bouquet du diable," said she. "I haven't smelt it since I was a boy," sighed Rhadamanthus. "Poor old thing," said Dolly. "I'm not going to read all this, you know."
He must not stop. “For Hellas! For Hermione!” At last even the vision of the Violet-Crowned City faded to mist. Had he reached the end,—the rest by the fields of Rhadamanthus, away from human strife? The night was ever darkening. He saw nothing, felt nothing, thought nothing save that he was still going onward, onward.
The man of history passed, without transition, to mythology. "You have excused the infamous acts of Actæon." "I think," said Ursus, insinuatingly, "that a man is not dishonoured by having seen a naked woman." "Then you are wrong," said the judge severely. Rhadamanthus returned to history.
Then Rhadamanthus, looking straight at the blotting paper, said: "Oh, well, don't bother me. Be off with you;" and as he spoke, the door behind him opened. "Oh, you old dear!" she cried; and, stooping swiftly, she kissed Rhadamanthus. "You're horribly bristly!" she laughed; and then, before he could move, she ran through the door. I rose from my seat, taking my hat and stick in my hand.
For Minos was always ill spoken of, and represented ever as a very wicked man, in the Athenian theaters; neither did Hesiod avail him by calling him "the most royal Minos," nor Homer, who styles him "Jupiter's familiar friend;" the tragedians got the better, and from the vantage ground of the stage showered down obloquy upon him, as a man of cruelty and violence; whereas, in fact, he appears to have been a king and a lawgiver, and Rhadamanthus a judge under him, administering the statutes that he ordained.
Gnosian Rhadamanthus here holds unrelaxing sway, chastises secret crime revealed, and exacts confession, wheresoever in the upper world one vainly exultant in stolen guilt hath till the dusk of death kept clear from the evil he wrought.
As to Cinyras and his associates, Rhadamanthus interrogated them to find whether they had more accomplices, and, being assured to the contrary, had them whipped with mallow twigs, bound, and dismissed to the place of the wicked. It was further determined that we should be expelled prematurely from the island; we were allowed only one day's grace.
He did not, however, dwell with much delight upon this process, for the idea that some unknown Rhadamanthus was sitting in judgment upon him much more wounded his 'amour propre', and seemed much more like an invading of his inner, secret life and feeling, than would be an instant appeal to the general public.
