When they came up with the little procession Publius informed the chief priest how he had found Serapion, and requested him to fetch away the corpse, and to cause it to be prepared for interment in the costliest manner in the embalming house attached to their temple.
But stay Before us a penitent from Memphis, who has been dead a few weeks " "Old Serapion?" asked Petrus. "That was his name," exclaimed Sirona. "Do you know his cave?" "How should I?" replied Petrus. "But perhaps Agapitus " "The spring where I got the water to cool Polykarp's wound, Paulus calls the partridge's-spring." "The partridge's-spring," repeated the senator, "I know that."
"What did you expect?" said Serapion laughing. "I ask you notwithstanding the risk of being again considered curious." "And I am very willing to answer," retorted the other, "but if I were to tell you the whole truth I should run into imminent danger of being sent off as ignominiously as my unfortunate guide there."
Then Serapion had been right in saying this; and her hand trembled in her lover's as she thought to herself that the danger which now threatened Philip was estrangement from the living through intercourse with the dead. Her own dead mother, perhaps, had floated past among these wandering souls, and she grieved to think that she had neglected to look for her and give her a loving greeting.
It must be one of the Syrian beggars that besiege the temple of Astarte." "Perhaps," answered his companion with indifference. "Let us get on now, my wife has a roast goose for supper this evening." Serapion, it is true, was fast tied to his cell, and yet the pedler had judged rightly, for he it was who hurried along the high-road frightening all he met.
'Romuald, my friend, something very extraordinary is transpiring within you, observed Sérapion, after a few moments' silence; 'your conduct is altogether inexplicable. You always so quiet, so pious, so gentle you to rage in your cell like a wild beast!
When I was told that in this temple there were people who had themselves locked into their little chambers never to quit them, taking thought about their dreams and leading a meditative life, I thought they must be simpletons or fools or both at once." "Just so, just so," interrupted Serapion. "But there is a fourth alternative you did not think of.
He went on to tell her, in a quick, low tone, much of which escaped the listener, that Serapion had dared much that day, and that the performance had ended badly, for that the Christian girl he had so cleverly persuaded to come from the other side of the lake had taken fright, and had insisted on knowing where she was.
"But Klea," interrupted Serapion, "you are quite beside yourself like one possessed. Go to the temple and pray, or, if that is of no avail, go to Asclepios or Anubis and have the demon cast out." "I need none of your gods!" answered the girl in great agitation. "Oh!
In another life, perhaps, I may not be the child of misfortune that I have been in this in another life now it grips my heart in another Children whatever joys have smiled on me in this, children, it was to you I have owed it Klea, to you and there is my little Irene too " These were the last words of Serapion the recluse; he fell back with a deep sigh and was dead.
