Let them prosper now, and I who have from the cradle's side despatched my soul faith in hand to lay it at Heaven's gate may never again deny a merit in the invocation of Sin virtuous as prayer".... To Lael in the seat.... "But be not afraid. I will be there also. I"... A sudden fear fell upon him.
"Oh, yes," he answered. "She is my little mother. I go up there often. She advises me in everything." "It must be sweet to have such a mother," Lael said, with a smile. "It is sweet," he returned. "And how lovely she is, and brave and assuring," Lael added. "Why, I forgot when with her to be afraid. I forgot we were in the hands of those dreadful Turks. I kept thinking of her, and not of myself."
Sometimes the strangers, to gratify their curiosity, drew quite near, but always without affronting him; knowing the homage was to Lael, he was happy when it was effusively rendered. His progress was most satisfactory until he rounded Candilli. Then a flock of small boats came down upon him pell-mell, the rowers pulling their uttermost, the passengers in panic.
"How much do you want?" Here Lael interposed: "Stand not on the price. My father will pay whatever they demand." The Bulgarians seemed to consider a moment. "It is the best we can do," the leader said. "Yes, the very best," the other returned. Thereupon the first one went to the new sedan, and opened the door.
SIBI HABEANT: sc. iuvenes; contemptuous, as in Lael. 18 sibi habeant sapientiae nomen Sull. 26 sibi haberent honores, sibi imperia etc.; cf. the formula of Roman divorce, tu tuas res tibi habeto. HASTAS: in practising, the point was covered by a button, pila; cf. Liv. 26, 51 praepilatis missilibus iaculati sunt. CLAVAM: cf.
The formalities of reception in the Castle were not less rigidly observed at the departure. In care of the eunuch the Princess and Lael descended to the hall of entrance where they were received by the supposed Governor, who was in armor thoroughly cleansed of dust and skilfully furbished. His manner was even more gallant and dignified.
When night was fallen, he crossed the street to Uel's. After the first greeting, the conversation between the two was remarkable chiefly for its lapses. It is always so with persons who have a sorrow in common the pleasure is in their society, not in exchange of words. In one thing the brethren were agreed Lael was lost. By and by the Prince concluded it time for him to depart.
ATQUI: in the best Latin atqui does not introduce a statement contradicting the preceding statement, but one that supplements it. Here it may be translated 'True, but'. Cf. 66, 81. GRATISSIMUM: equivalent to rem gratissimam. With the thought cf. Rep. 1, 34 gratum feceris si explicaris. Lael. 16 pergratum feceris si disputaris UT POLLICEAR: so Acad. 1, 33 nos vero volumus ut pro Attico respondeam.
It dawned upon him then that custom had something to do with the attire of Greek women thus upon the water. That moment Lael glanced up at him, and he saw how childlike her face was, and lovely despite the anxiety and fear with which it was overcast. He became interested in her at once. The monk's judgment of the little old man was unjust.
Nilo finally comprehending the situation returned to Lael just as the Prince on foot came up to her. She was pale and trembling with fear. The deadlock between the musicians and the mob was brought to an end by the appearance of a detachment of the Imperial guard. A mounted officer, javelin in hand, rode up and shouted: "The Emperor! Make way for the Emperor!"
