Sir" and he bowed towards Eustace "'Lovely Thais sits beside thee, Take the goods the gods provide thee. "I salute you, as all men must salute one so supremely favoured. Humbly, I salute you; humbly I pray that you may continually deserve the almost unparalleled good that it has pleased Providence to bestow upon you."
There are amongst us many old mothers who weep for their children, now sleeping under the pines of Ida." And Hecuba, formerly queen of the most flourishing city in Asia, and now a slave, bowed her unhappy head in the dust. Then the curtain in front of one of the tents was raised, and the virgin Polyxena appeared. A tremor passed through all the spectators. They had recognised Thais.
I have brought her that you may, according to your promise, and if it please your holiness, bestow on her the baptism of life." At these words the Bishop opened his arms, and showed his mutilated hands. His nails had been torn out because he had maintained the faith in the days of persecution. Thais was frightened, and threw herself into the arms of Ahmes.
Thais mor'n five men in this camp, thet, hearin' thet Hawkins hed sent home eight thousand dollars, must jest rise up and send home their hard earnings too! And then to think thet thet eight thousand was only a bluff, after all, and thet it's lyin' there on call in Adams & Co.'s bank! Well, I say it's one o' them things a vigilance committee oughter look into."
A drop a drop, no doubt, of the water which washed thy body has been sprinkled in my face. Come, O my sister, and receive from thy brother the kiss of peace." And the monk touched with his lips the forehead of the courtesan. Then he was silent, letting God speak, and nothing was heard in the Grotto of Nymphs but the sobs of Thais, mingled with the rippling of the running water.
"Come, my soul! Come, light of my eyes! Come, little sweetheart! Come and be clad in the baptismal robes!" He carried the child pressed to his breast. Frightened and yet curious, Thais, her head out of the cloak, threw her arms round her friend's neck, and he ran with her through the darkness.
Thais is dying, and she will never be mine never! never!" And as the boat came down the river with the current, he remained whole days lying on his face, and repeating "Never! never! never!" Then, at the idea that she had given herself to others, and not to him; that she had poured forth an ocean of love, and he had not wetted his lips therein, he stood up, savagely wild, and howled with grief.
But, being only used to subtle disquisitions with philosophers, he did not possess that imperious energy which commands vulgar minds. He was not listened to. A shower of stones and shells fell on the monk, who, protecting Thais with his body, praised the Lord whose goodness turned his wounds into caresses.
I had such a joyous time last night. I sang the whole of Maliela, and a lot of Thais. I don't know what all. Novelli's a marvel; the best accompanist I've found yet. But, oh, my darling, I did feel such a pig about it." He was back in his own chair by now and his sister breathed a little more freely. "Pig?" he asked. "Oh, because you weren't there," said Paula.
But I am surprised, my good Paphnutius, that you should have come from the depths of the Thebaid to talk about Thais." Having said this, he sighed gently. And Paphnutius gazed at him with horror, not conceiving it possible that a man should so calmly avow such a sin. He expected to see the earth open, and Nicias swallowed up in flames.
