Rufinus' wife, a frail, ailing little woman, with a small face and rather hollow cheeks, who must once have been very attractive and engaging, might have passed for his daughter; she was, in fact, twenty years younger than her husband. It was evident that she had suffered much in the course of her life, but had taken it patiently and all for the best.
The shortest way is through the hedge again." "No," said Paula firmly, "you are no longer a child; you are grown up, and must feel it and show it. You are not to creep through the bushes, but to go home by the gate. Rufinus and I will go with you and explain to your mother..." "No, no!" cried Katharina in terror. "She is as angry with you as she is with them. Only yesterday she forbid..."
Philippus must now be with Mary and, with the leech's aid, he was resolved to get the child away from his mother's house. Not till he felt that she was safe with Paula in Rufinus' house, could he be free to attempt the enterprise which floated before his eyes.
All the evil things that were said by his enemies of Rufinus were said of Eutropius by his enemies; but in reading of the enormities of the latter we must make great allowance for the general prejudice existing against a person with Eutropius' physical disqualifications.

"No, not sick. . . ." interrupted the negro. "Come long way. Gardener to Greek man Rufinus." Philippus started: he could guess what this messenger had to say, and his heart sank with dread as he desired that he might be shown in.
"That is true sometimes, no doubt; still, gratitude is a tribute on which no wise man ever reckons. Now I have told you enough; for the sake of Philippus we will let the rest pass." "No, no," said Paula putting up entreating hands, and Rufinus answered gaily: "Who can refuse you anything? I will cut it short, but you must pay good heed. Well then Man is the standard of all things.
"They are one again; and henceforth there will be endless going and coming between the governor's house and that of Rufinus. A very pretty game! But wait, only wait." And she set her little white teeth; but she retained enough self-possession to mark all that took place.
