He is well known by repute, and the subject of many a sharp jest; for this is Pandion, formerly a stableboy, and now one of "Caesar's friends," a praetor, and one of the great men of the empire. But he knows his business; and what does Caracalla care for tradition or descent, for the murmurs and discontent of high or low?
The lord chancellor was only too glad to share a mattress with a stableboy, and steal his bare feet under his jacket. In the morning Curdie appeared, and the outcasts were in terror, thinking he had come after them again. But he took no notice of them: his object was to request Derba to go to the palace: the king required her services.
"Let me see how badly he's hurt." She took Blister's head in her arms. "Go 'way from here! He's dead," she said. "He saved me . . . he's mine! Go 'way from here!" A crowd was forming. I sent a stableboy for a blanket, put it under Blister's head, despite the girl's protests, and pulled her roughly to her feet. "Go over to that bale and sit down!"
A man entered the room, whom I took for a stableboy; it was M. de Melfort. "See," said the princess to him, "M. Casanova has taught me the cabalistic science." And she shewed him the answer she had obtained herself. The count could not believe it. "Well," said the duchess to me, "we must convince him. What shall I ask?" "Anything your highness chooses."
"What do I want with a lame donkey?" said the Manager to the stableboy. "Take him to the market and sell him." When they reached the square, a buyer was soon found. "How much do you ask for that little lame Donkey?" he asked. "Four dollars." "I'll give you four cents. Don't think I'm buying him for work. I want only his skin. It looks very tough and I can use it to make myself a drumhead.
The stableboy noted the letter S blazoned on the blinds of the horses' bridles, but there were no letters on the carriage. There had been, but there was evidence that they had been unskillfully removed. Late in the night the coachman pulled rein and a man on horseback rode up, opened the door and softly inquired after the welfare of the occupants.
But Lucia's was not yet quite full, for at this moment Miss Lyall's pony hip-bath stopped at the gate, and a small stableboy presented a note, which required an answer. In spite of all Lucia's self-control, the immediate answer it got was a flush of heightened colour. "Mere impertinence," she said. "I will read it aloud." "Dear Mrs Lucas,
Having no stableboy or carter or quarryman her husband had made them do every kind of work she no longer kept up the garden; she only gathered the few greens and roots that the stony ground allowed to grow self-sown.
And he was off, down the drive to the lower end where the stableboy was guarding his trap he was seated he was driving away he was gone gone! She did not move until he was no longer in sight. Then she rushed into the house, darted up to her room, locked herself in and gave way.
She summoned her woman, and bade her follow by post on the morrow. The landlord she rewarded with a ring worth twenty times the value of the service, and was led by him through a side door into the innyard. Here she found three horses, one equipped with the pillion on which she was to ride behind a burly stableboy.
