"Let it remain there," Paulus begged of her; he bent over the senseless man once more to kiss his forehead, raised his hand towards Sirona in sign of blessing, and rushed out into the open air.
Just as Sirona was preparing to run down, she perceived him and started; but when she saw that the anchorite from pure embarrassment could find no words in which to answer her question as to what he wanted, she laughed heartily again and called out: "Come up, we shall not hurt you shall we children?"
On the following day he asked Sirona of her father for his wife, and as he had to set out for Rome in a few days the wedding was promptly celebrated. She had never before quitted Arelas, and knew not what she was giving up, when she took leave of her father's house perhaps for ever.
"I know the sound Phoebicius is coming this way." "He is doing his duty," replied Paulus. "And still, one thing more. I saw last night a ring on your hand an onyx." "There it lies," said Sirona; and she pointed to the farthest corner of the cave, where it lay on the dusty soil.
Hermas involuntarily glanced up at the window where more than once he had seen Sirona, and said, as he pointed to the centurion's house, "He too fell." Petrus nodded and opened the door of his house. In the hall, which was lighted up, Dorothea came hastily to meet him, asking, "No news yet of Polykarp?" Her husband shook his head, and she added, "How indeed is it possible?
While Paulus was speaking he had gone up to Sirona, as a girl whose bird has escaped from its cage, and who creeps up to it with timid care in the hope of recapturing it; he offered her his hand, and as soon as he felt hers in his grasp, he had carefully rescued her from her fearful position, and had led her down to a secure footing on the plateau.
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."
The young warrior never again saw the Holy Mountain or Paulus, but after he himself had won fame and distinction in the army he met again with Petrus' son, Polykarp, whom the emperor had sent for to Byzantium with great honor, and in whose house the Gaulish woman Sirona presided as a true and loving wife and mother. After his parting from Hermas, Paulus disappeared.
He is young, and so lovely a woman as Sirona " Up to this point Petrus had listened to his wife in silence. Now he clasped his hands, and interrupted her, "Things certainly are not going on quite right but I ought to be used to it. What I meant to have confided to you in a quiet hour, you tell me as if you knew all about it!" "And why not?" asked Dorothea.
