The boys, seated at marble-topped tables, were making a hideous rattle with their forks and tin cups, while one of their schoolfellows, seated at the desk in the middle of the great room, was reading aloud, as the regulations direct, a passage from Rollin's Ancient History. Jean, at the head of a table, his nose in his ill-washed earthenware plate, had cold feet and a sore heart.
Mr. Rollin's tone was unusually serious and even slightly embarrassed. I looked up with curious surprise from my dreamy observation of the water. Then I thought of what Grandma Keeler had said to me about laboring for this young man's spiritual good. "I think we all ought to seek it," I observed tritely, giving a long, studied artistic stroke to the oars.
Caesar's Commentaries, Leges Juliae, Appian, Plutarch, Suetonius, Dion Cassius, and Cicero's Letters to Atticus are the principal original authorities. Napoleon III. wrote a dull Life of Caesar, but it is rich in footnotes, which it is probable he did not himself make, since nothing is easier than the parade of learning. Rollin's Ancient History may be read with other general histories.
The leader, however, who may be desirous of knowing the events which took place during this interval, will find as complete a detail of them as can now be given, in Hooke's or Rollin's Roman History. C. Pontius, the general of the Samnites, led in triumph before the victor's carriage, and afterwards beheaded. Three judges of capital crimes now first appointed.
I know too about Miss B's school, and Miss L's school, and the Seminary at Mount Blank, and the winters in New York." There was triumph at last, in Mr. Rollin's tone. "You have taken pains to collect a great deal of information about me;" I replied, virtuously concluding that I should disappoint the fisherman more by not appearing vexed.
In going out, she took an indirect course through the room, purposely to pass by where I was sitting. "Are your windows open towards Jerusalem?" said she, stooping and whispering in my ear: "Dave Rollin's out there hangin' onto the fence one side the bushes, and Lute Cradlebow the other, and they don't see each other no more than two bats."
I felt that after this experience it would be unwise for me further to extend my mission work in Mr. Rollin's behalf. So I answered him but briefly, and in a tone of martyr-like composure, which I could not help observing perplexed and irritated him more than anger or the most frigid silence would have done.
Vaughan has written an interesting lecture. Merivale has elaborately treated this great man in his valuable History of the Romans. Colley Cibber's Character and Conduct of Cicero, Drumann's Roman History, Rollin's Ancient History, Biographic Universelle. Mr. Froude alludes to Cicero in his Life of Caesar, taking nearly the same view as Forsyth.
Who's that big fellow ahead after the old bull?" "It's Winklemann. He seems to prefer tough meat." As Ian spoke the bull in question turned suddenly round, just as Rollin's bull had done, and received Winklemann's horse on its hairy forehead. The poor man shot from the saddle as if he had been thrown from a catapult, turned a complete somersault over the buffalo, and fell on his back beyond.
'You know Rollin's Ancient History, don't you? the young man asked who sat with me at school that first day. 'Have it at home, I answered, 'It's in five volumes. 'I mean the history of Sol Rollin, the man you are boarding with, said he smiling at me and then he told the story of the cookies.
