We may quote from Whyte-Melville's romance of "The Gladiators" a sketch of a Vitellian banquet whose characteristic features are taken from exact history: "A banquet with Vitellius was no light and simple repast. Leagues of sea and miles of forest had been swept to furnish the mere groundwork of the entertainment.
More than I was prepared for, though I heard all about the lion and that he has been a regular stunner in Australia eh, Lucy, just like a hero of Whyte-Melville's, eh?" "I don't think so." "And, to complete it all, what has he been doing to little Viola Tracy? Oh, what fun! Carrying her off bodily to see you, wasn't it?
The whole scene the silent pool at my feet, the rich, well-timbered valley, with its marked contrast to the cold hills that overlook it reminded me forcibly of Whyte-Melville's lines at the conclusion of the most impressive poem he ever wrote: "The Fairies' Spring": "And sweet to the thirsting lips of men Is the spring of tears in the fairies' glen."
