Carthage, Rome, Greece, Phoenicia their colonies, art and trade stuffs, their foods, pleasures and worships how he raved! A book like Thaïs, Salammbo, Sonica, Quo Vadis, touched him to the quick. At the same time, and odd as it may seem, he was seemingly in intimate contact with a circle of friends that rather astonished me by its catholicity.
It is the cry of Christians murdered in circuses: Pro Christo! Sienkiewicz searching always and continually for a tranquil harbor from the storms of conscience and investigation of the tormented mind, finds such a harbor in the religious sentiments, in lively Christian faith. This idea is woven as golden thread in a silk brocade, not only in "Quo Vadis," but also in all his novels.
A detailed account of him, which must be divinely inspired since there is no human material for it, has been made popular in the last half-century by the author a foreign gentleman, whose name for the moment escapes me of a novel entitled Quo Vadis.
The silence continued long; then were heard the words of the aged man, broken by sobs, "Quo vadis, Domine?" Nazarius did not hear the answer; but to Peter's ears came a sad and sweet voice, which said, "If thou desert my people, I am going to Rome to be crucified a second time." The Apostle lay on the ground, his face in the dust, without motion or speech.
The meaning of "King Street" came last of anything in the dream, but I will give it now. I did not seem to be able to get anywhere on this for some time, and the idea kept presenting itself that it symbolized that I was king of the situation which seemed innocent enough; but at last there came an association with Nero as portrayed in "Quo Vadis."

Know anything of my man Ismail?" "Sure! He's one of Yasmini's pets. She bailed him out of Ali's three years ago and he worships her. It was he who broke the leg and ribs of a pup-rajah a month or two ago for putting on too much dog in her reception room! He's Ursus out of Quo Vadis! He's dog, desperado, stalking horse and Keeper of the Queen's secrets!"
The cushions had been done over I resented that but though a different material, they were a still darker plum. And instead of Quo Vadis, the Bishop had been reading Resurrection. I took it up and glanced over it as I sat there; but, you know, Mag, the heavy-weight plays never appealed to me. I don't go in for the tragic perhaps I saw too much of the real thing when I was little.
It seems to us that in "Quo Vadis" Sienkiewicz strained all his forces to reproduce from one side all the power, all riches, all refinement, all corruption of the Roman civilization in order to get a better contrast with the great advantages of the cry of the living faith: Pro Christo!
"I heard about it and ran after you to ask you to come back or, if you refused, to let me go with you wherever you are going. I left Mother Spurlock in charge of the newly installed Epworth Leaguers. Charlotte disapproved of my coming and said so," and we both laughed in delight over my strenuous name-daughter. "Are you asking me quo vadis?"
