May the moment be blessed in which I heard His name for the first time." "I love thee, Marcus," said she then in a low voice. Both were silent again, unable to bring words from their overcharged breasts. The last lily reflections had died on the cypresses, and the garden began to be silver-like from the crescent of the moon. After a while Vinicius said, "I know.
"He carried not only thee, but me, in his arms." "I intended to free him," answered Vinicius; "but do not mention him. Let us speak of Lygia. Rome is a sea-" "A sea is just the place where men fish for pearls. Of course we shall not find her to-day, or to-morrow, but we shall find her surely.
What a horrible chaos, what a letting loose of destructive elements and popular frenzy! And in all this is Lygia. The groans of Vinicius were mingled with the snorting and groans of his horse; the beast, running on a road which rose continually toward Aricia, was using the last of its breath. Who will snatch her from the burning city; who can save her?
The prison took strength from me, but He gave it back in that moment, and inspired that cruel people to take her part. Let His will be done!" And Vinicius answered, "Magnified be His name!" He had not power to continue, for all at once he felt that a mighty weeping was swelling his breast.
Ursus bent to the Apostle's feet; then, recognizing Vinicius, seized his hand by the wrist, and raised it to his lips. "And thou, lord," said he. "Blessed be the name of the Lamb, for the joy which thou wilt bring to Callina." He opened the door then, and entered. Linus was lying on a bundle of straw, with an emaciated face and a forehead as yellow as ivory.
A moment of silence followed; then Vinicius said, "But perhaps she did bewitch her, and has bewitched me." "Lilith repeats that the child began to cry the moment she carried her past us. And really the child did begin to cry. It is certain that she was sick when they took her out of the garden.
Vinicius, seeing a detachment of ten mounted pretorians, going evidently with news from the city to Antium, sprang toward them. "What part of the city is on fire?" inquired he. "Who art thou?" asked the decurion. "Vinicius, a tribune of the army, an Augustian. Answer on thy head!" "The fire broke out in the shops near the Circus Maximus.
The Apostle Peter did not venture for a long time to appear in the house of Petronius, but at last on a certain evening Nazarius announced his arrival. Lygia, who was able to walk alone now, and Vinicius ran out to meet him, and fell to embracing his feet.
On Vinicius who wished to question Ursus touching Lygia's birthplace, these words produced a certain pleasant impression; for discourse with a free though a common man was less disagreeable to his Roman and patrician pride, than with a slave, in whom neither law nor custom recognized human nature. "Then thou dost not belong to Aulus?" asked he.
"They will hurl stones at us, and what could his strength effect? Is it not better to take the girl from the house, not expose thyself or her to destruction?" "This is true, Croton," said Vinicius. "I receive thy money, I do thy will! But remember, lord, that to-morrow I go to Beneventum." "I have five hundred slaves in the city," answered Vinicius.
