He himself prosecuted many, and he would also assist others who prosecuted them, nay would even procure such, as he did the Petilii against Scipio; but not being able to destroy him, by reason of the nobleness of his family, and the real greatness of his mind, which enabled him to trample all calumnies underfoot, Cato at last would meddle no more with him; yet joining with the accusers against Scipio's brother Lucius, he succeeded in obtaining a sentence against him, which condemned him to the payment of a large sum of money to the state; and being insolvent, and in danger of being thrown into jail, he was, by the interposition of the tribunes of the people, with much ado dismissed.
He took Metellus Scipio, who had been the Senate's second candidate by the side of Milo, and had been as deeply concerned in bribery as Milo himself; shortly after, and with still more significance, he replaced Julia by Metellus Scipio's daughter, the widow of young Publius Crassus, who had fallen with his father.
Feelings of Hannibal and Scipio. Address of Scipio to the Roman army. Hannibal's ingenious method of introducing his speech. Curious combat. Effect on the army. Hannibal's speech to his army. His words of encouragement. Hannibal's promises. His real feelings. Hannibal's energy and decision. His steady resolution. Hannibal's unfaltering courage. Movements of Scipio. Scipio's bridge over the Po.
Scipio's death removed a man who might have been a powerful advocate on his behalf; the vague relationship of clientship in which the family of Marius had stood to the clan of the Herennii a relation common between Roman families and the members of Italian townships, and in this case probably dating from a time before Arpinum had received full Roman rights seems never to have led to active interference on his behalf on the part of the representatives of that ancient Samnite house.
Successful operations against the Carthaginians in Spain, under Silanus, Scipio's lieutenant, and L. Scipio, his brother; of Sulpicius and Attalus, against Philip, king of Macedonia.
He had scarcely noticed that he was being surrounded and congratulated. His hand was being shaken, and he saw it was Scipio in tears. Scipio's joy made his heart like lead within him. He was near telling his friend everything, but he did not. "If anybody wants me about this," he said, "I will be at the hotel." "Who'll want you?" said Scipio. "Three of us saw his gun out."
Her howls drew Scipio's attention from his work, and he turned to find them a struggling heap upon the floor. He dashed to part them, kicked over a bucket of drinking water in his well-meant hurry, and, finally, had to rescue them, both drenched to the skin, from the untimely bath.
At the ranch he would be the Virginian's equal again, both of them taking orders from their officially recognized superior, this foreman. Shorty's word about "revenge" seemed to me like putting the thing backwards. Revenge, as I told Scipio, was what I should be thinking about if I were Trampas. "He dassent," was Scipio's immediate view. "Not till he's got strong again.
Howsum," he sighed, "I don't guess you ken never rightly tell." A flush began to warm Scipio's cheeks. He couldn't understand. He wondered hard, vainly endeavoring to grasp wherein he had offended. "I I don't get you," he said, in a bewildered fashion, dropping the garment he was washing back into the soapsuds. Bill's expression underwent another change as he caught at the words.
He sped swiftly through the surrounding bush, dodging tree-trunks, and threading his way circuitously in the direction where stood the great cut bank of quartz which backed Scipio's claim. The smell of the air had told him its tale, and he knew that he had made a wonderful, an astounding discovery. And with this knowledge had come the thought of his own possible advantage.
