Vinicius wished, it is true, to do this; but Petronius, hearing of his purpose, inquired, "But should he refuse thee, or answer with a jest or a shameless threat, what wouldst thou do?" At this the young tribune's features contracted with pain and rage, and from his fixed jaws a gritting sound was heard.
Little enough can we who are tribunes do; you have neither voice nor vote, and Lentulus is your personal foe. So back, before it is too late. Let us shift for ourselves." Drusus replied never a word, but simply took the tribune's arm and walked the faster toward the Curia.
It is but a child's effort; or did the sentry spy him?" Time passed on: the first ray of daylight slowly gleamed, when he thought he heard the door of the church close. Savelli's suspense became intolerable: he stole from the chapel, and came in sight of the Tribune's bed all was silent. "Perhaps the silence of death," said Savelli, as he crept back.
The immense multitude received this intimation with curiosity and gladness, while those who had been in some measure prepared by Cecco del Vecchio, hailed it as an omen of their Tribune's unflagging resolution.
At the end of another month the "Tribune's" famous editor was still in the same frame of mind, declaring himself "averse to the employment of military force to fasten one section of our confederacy to the other," and saying that, "if eight States, having five millions of people, choose to separate from us, they cannot be permanently withheld from so doing by federal cannon."
The appeal from the consul to the tribune, and the tribune's right of intercession in opposition to the consul, were, as has been already said, precisely of the same nature with the appeal from consul to consul and the intercession of the one consul in opposition to the other; and both cases were simply applications of the general principle of law that, where two equal authorities differ, the veto prevails over the command.
For, in spite of the Tribune's shrewd observations, it soon became clear that the Volstead act was being so terribly discredited by the preposterous spectacle of the Government selling liquor on its own ships that something had to be done about it; and it was only under the pressure of this situation that a new line of strategy was adopted by the Anti-Saloon League.
"Art thou, indeed, a son of Hur, the Jew?" he next asked. "It is as I have said." "I knew thy father " Judah drew himself nearer, for the tribune's voice was weak he drew nearer, and listened eagerly at last he thought to hear of home. "I knew him, and loved him," Arrius continued. There was another pause, during which something diverted the speaker's thought.
The light glinting through the grating over his head gave the rower fairly to the tribune's view erect, and, like all his fellows, naked, except a cincture about the loins. There were, however, some points in his favor. He was very young, not more than twenty.
The reader would doubtless have done the same: only he would have looked with much sympathy, while, as is the habit with masters, the tribune's mind ran forward of what he saw, inquiring for results. The spectacle was simple enough of itself.
