Isinglass glue, mixed with a little finely sifted chalk, will answer the same purpose, if the articles be not required to endure heat or moisture. CHINA CHILO. Mince a pint-basonful of undressed neck or leg of mutton, with some of the fat.
True, he had heard in Ostrianum that one should love even enemies; that, however, he considered as a kind of theory without application in life. And now this passed through his head: that perhaps they had not killed Chilo because the day was among festivals, or was in some period of the moon during which it was not proper for Christians to kill a man.
But Chilo was not able to tell much. He had been in two more houses of prayer, had observed each person carefully, especially the women, but had seen no one who resembled Lygia: the Christians, however, looked on him as one of their own sect, and, since he redeemed the son of Euricius, they honored him as a man following in the steps of "Christ."
Thou wilt tell Demas from thyself that I went this morning, summoned by an urgent letter from Petronius." Here he repeated with emphasis: "I have gone to Beneventum, dost understand?" "Thou has gone, lord. Vinicius, though sick and accustomed to the Greek's suppleness, could not repress a smile. He was glad, moreover, that Chilo understood in a flash; hence he said,
Wouldst thou persuade us that Pomponia, and with her Lygia, could belong to the enemies of the human race, to the poisoners of wells and fountains, to the worshippers of an ass's head, to people who murder infants and give themselves up to the foulest license? Think, Chilo, if that thesis which thou art announcing to us will not rebound as an antithesis on thy own back." "Well, I have uttered it.
But from side passages new forms appeared continually, so that after some time Vinicius and Chilo found themselves amid a whole assemblage of people. Chilo slipped from his mule, and, beckoning to a youth who sat near, said to him, "I am a priest of Christ and a bishop. Hold the mules for us; thou wilt receive my blessing and forgiveness of sins."
"Ye wished to allay people's anger and convince them that punishment was falling on the guilty; the result is just the opposite." "True!" added Antistius Verus, "all whisper to one another now that the Christians were innocent. If that be cleverness, Chilo was right when he said that your brains could be held in a nutshell."
Wherefore Chilo did very well and wisely; for when he invited yesterday, he would not promise to come till he had a particular given him of all their names who were to meet him.
At that moment Chilo pulled the corner of Vinicius's mantle and whispered, "Lord, I see Urban over there, not far from the old man, and with him is a maiden." Vinicius shook himself, as if out of a dream, and, turning in the direction indicated by the Greek, he saw Lygia. EVERY drop of blood quivered in the young patrician at sight of her.
"There are scrupula," said he; "when Lygia shall be in my house, thou wilt get the same full of aurei." "Thou art Jove!" exclaimed Chilo. But Vinicius frowned. "Thou wilt receive food here," said he; "then thou mayest rest. Thou wilt not leave this house till evening, and when night falls thou wilt go with me to Ostrianum."
