Tomorrow morning a locksmith shall put locks and keys to your doors, and you will be the only person in the castle who is proof against thieves." I might have replied in the words of Juvenal, 'Cantabit vacuus coram latrone viator', but I should have mortified him.
Giles, which is my patron saint, I care not how it be, for mark ye, vacuus cantat coram latrone viator, Sir Goliath, the which in the vulgar tongue signifieth that he who travels with an empty purse laughs before the footpad moreover, I have a sword!" But Beltane laughed, saying: "I have no lust to thy purse, most learned bowman, or indeed to aught of thine unless it be thy company."
"If we are going to try this thing on, I shall want every sixpence." "You'll see if we're going to try it!" cried Tommy, rising radiant from table. "Only, mark you, Carthew, it must be all in your name. I have capital, you see; but you're all right. You can play vacuus viator if the thing goes wrong." "I thought we had just proved it was quite safe," said Carthew.
"'Vacuus viator cantabit ante Latronem; "There's the Chili vinegar another morsel of the trout?" "I thank you; what excellent coffee, Father Malachi!" "A secret I learned at St. Omer's some thirty years since. Any letters, Bridget?" to a damsel that entered with a pacquet in her hand.

I had opened my portmanteau when I first arrived, leaving it open on the floor as is my wont. Some people are always being robbed, and are always locking up everything; while others wander safe over the world and never lock up anything. For myself, I never turn a key anywhere, and no one ever purloins from me even a handkerchief. Cantabit vacuus , and I am always sufficiently vacuus.
Et vacuus cantat coram latrone viator; Vacuus not of money, but of pistols. Yet on the other hand, though possibly sound law for the thickets of Mount Cithaeron, this would be too unsafe a policy as a general rule: too often it is the exposure of a helpless exterior which first suggests the outrage.
How much steeper the hills are now, how much deeper and darker the ravines, how much more frequent the crags that might so easily conceal a marauder, than when we passed them some months ago chanting the reckless roundel of the vacuus viator. We said, you remember, before, that Miss Tresilyan had one subject of self-reproach, for which she had never gained her own absolution.
They look thoughtful, complain of the weight of business, throw out mysterious hints, and seem big with secrets which they do not know. Do you, on the contrary, never talk of business but to those with whom you are to transact it; and learn to seem vacuus and idle, when you have the most business.
