Juba had chased the mouse, that his fancy still insisted on creating, behind this picture, and as he abruptly drew back, the picture fell into the hands I stretched forth to receive it.
From over the water, out of the heart of the moonlit wood, came the song of a mockingbird, a tumultuous ecstasy, possessing the air and making elfin the night. Haward backed his horse from the reeds to the oak beneath which waited the negro. "'Tis plain that we have lost our way, Juba," he said, with a laugh.
They talk as if she were as hard to be found as a hare in a frosty morning. "'SEMP. But how to gain admission? Oh! she is found out then, it seems. "'But how to gain admission? for access Is giv'n to none but Juba and her brothers. But, raillery apart, why access to Juba? For he was owned and received as a lover neither by the father nor by the daughter. Well, but let that pass.
In fact it was solely owing to the energetic intervention of Cato that the capital of the province itself the flourishing Utica which, just like Carthage formerly, had been long regarded with a jealous eye by the Numidian kings did not experience the same treatment from Juba, and that measures of precaution merely were taken against its citizens, who certainly were not unjustly accused of leaning towards Caesar.
"Then, they must conclude that we have come from the other side, and brought Juba along as a captive," I said. "Undoubtedly." "And what must they think of us that we are inhabitants of the dark hemisphere also?" "What else can they think?" I do not know into what train of speculation this might have led us if a new incident had not suddenly changed the current of our thoughts.

Juba could do nothing, Ala was far away at the capital, even supposing that she should be disposed to set out in search of us, and hours, perhaps days, must elapse before she could be informed of what had happened. Not even when Jack and I were in the dungeon had our case seemed so desperate.
But here I must ask a question: how comes Juba to listen here, who had not listened before throughout the play? Or how comes he to be the only person of this tragedy who listens, when love and treason were so often talked in so public a place as a hall?
“He, he, he!” he cried; “so you are on your knees, Agellius.” “Why shouldn’t I be at this hour,” answered Agellius, “and before I go to bed?” “O, every one to his taste, of course,” said Juba; “but to an unprejudiced mind there is something unworthy in the act.” “Why, Juba?” said his brother somewhat sharply; “don’t you profess any religion at all?”
He succeeded in bringing into arms against Juba the Gaetulian pastoral tribes wandering on the southern slope of the great Atlas towards the Sahara; for the blows of the Marian and Sullan period had reached even to them, and their indignation against Pompeius, who had at that time made them subordinate to the Numidian kings, rendered them from the outset favourably inclined to the heir of the mighty Marius of whose Jugurthine campaign they had still a lively recollection.
