He knows what is good, and the captain of the watch is his subordinate."
"Shall he come to visit you when I leave you?" "Not immediately," replied Julia. "I have this morning an important and at the same time pleasant business to attend to. You know Paulina, the widow of Pudeus. She took into her keeping a pretty young creature " "And Arsinoe has run away from her." "We took her in here," said Titianus.
I did," said the first speaker, but he said no more perceiving, close behind him, a Roman lictor who bore over his left shoulder his fasces, a bundle of elmrods skilfully tied together, and who, with a wand in his right-hand and the assistance of his comrades, was endeavoring to part the crowd and make room for the chariot of his master, Titianus, the imperial prefect, which came slowly in the rear.

"Not only of ruining him," answered the chamberlain; "Titianus is by this time beheaded." The old man bowed and left the room; but Melissa remained behind, feeling as if the floor had opened in front of her.
Sabina quite took her meaning, and suppressing another yawn she said angrily: "In these days we must be indulgent toward a husband who has chosen Ovid's amatory poems as his faithful companion.
