Hundreds of times they would go to bed without wishing each other 'good-night, and still more often would they avoid any morning greeting when they first met in the day. Arsinoe liked talking, but in Selene's presence she was taciturn; there were few things in which Selene took pleasure, while her sister delighted in every thing which can charm youth.
Without waiting for Selene's answer the sculptor hastened into his nook and returned first with one of the lamps he worked by in each hand, and some small tools in his mouth, and then fetched his wax model which he placed on the outer side of the table, behind which the steward was sleeping.
The young Bithynian gazed in silence at Selene's tall, slight form, he felt prompted to follow her, to say to her how very sorry he was for the mischance that had befallen her, and that the hound belonged not to him but to another man; but he dared not. Long after she had disappeared from sight he stood on the same spot.
"There you have it!" laughed the beggar. "Once more I ask you," cried the tribune. "Will you worship this statue, or do you refuse to do so?" A fearful struggle possessed Selene's soul.

The thought flashed into his mind like a sudden blaze of light; and if he should find the courage to devote himself to death for his dear master all his sins against him would be expiated; then then oh, how lovely a thought! then might he not find entrance into the gates of that realm of bliss which Selene's prayers had opened to him?
"No no, you at any rate, must remain here, for in two hours the matrons and maidens are to meet at the theatre." "In two hours! but mighty Serapis, what are we to put on?" "It is your business to see to that," replied Keraunus, "I myself will have the litter you spoke of, and be carried down to Tryphon, the ship- builder. Is there any money left in Selene's box?"
Arsinoe looked down, for she knew what these treasures were worth, and said: "We can consider all that later." Then she and her father got into the litters that had been waiting for them, and without which Keraunus thought he could no longer exist, and they were carried to the garden of Pudeus' widow. Their visit came to interrupt Selene's blissful dreams.
The thick sandals she had tied on to her feet roused loud echoes in the empty rooms as they fell on the stone pavements, and terror possessed Selene's anxious soul.
