In a few minutes she ceased to breathe. Cyrus expressed his respect for the memory of Abradates and Panthea by erecting a lofty monument over their common grave. General character of Xenophon's history. Dialogues and conversations. Ancient mode of discussion. Cyrus's games. Grand procession. The races. The Sacian. His success. Mode of finding a worthy man. Pheraulas wounded.
The booty was recovered, large numbers of the enemy were slain, and others were taken prisoners. Spargapizes himself was captured; his hands were bound; he was taken into Cyrus's camp, and closely guarded.
The boar fell, and lay upon the ground in dying struggles, while Cyrus's heart was filled with joy and triumph even greater than before. When Cyaxares came up, he reproved Cyrus anew for running such risks. Cyrus received the reproaches meekly, and then asked Cyaxares to give him the two animals that he had killed; he wanted to carry them home to his grandfather.
But as he passed along the hall, and saw his father in his little cabin of a room, smoking placidly, and polishing his sextant with loving hands, Cyrus's heart reproached him. "How's her head, Cy?" the Captain called out. "Oh, better, I guess," Cyrus said. "That's good," said the Captain, beginning to hoist himself up out of his chair. "Going out? Hold hard, and I'll go 'long.
Hu-loo-oo!" "Oh, say, Chick, give us a chance! We can't sleep with you chirping into our ears." It was Cyrus who spoke, shaking with drowsy laughter, and Cyrus's big hand gently shook the dreamer's arm. "What? what? wh-wh-at?" gasped Dol, awaking. "I wasn't talking out loud, was I?" "Not talking aloud! Well, I should smile!" answered the camp captain.
In fact, Cyrus's personal attractiveness and beauty, joined to a certain frank and noble generosity of spirit which he seems to have manifested in his earliest years, made him a universal favorite at home, and the reports of these qualities, and of the various sayings and doings on Cyrus's part, by which his disposition and character were revealed, awakened strongly in the mind of Astyages that kind of interest which a grandfather is always very prone to feel in a handsome and precocious grandchild.
That is the reason why he has settled down uncomplainingly in Cyrus's "Works," as he calls them, doing the very slight aesthetics possible in such a connection. Now Charles Edward would think that sunburned grass over in that field is green, when it is pink, because he has been taught that grass is green.
Deborah spoke, but all she said was, "Polly's a good girl, Father, only she hasn't any snap." Joscelyn wrote to Deborah occasionally, telling her freely of her plans and doings. If it hurt the girl that no notice was ever taken of her letters she still wrote them. Deborah read the letters grimly and then left them in Cyrus's way.
Garst had passed into dreamland, where men revel in fragmentary memories and pell-mell visions. If Cyrus's dreams were ruffled after the morning's excitement, those of his comrades were a perfect chaos. A slight wind hummed wordless songs through the tasselled tops of the pine-trees about the camp. The music was tender and drowsy as a mother's lullaby.
Cyrus declines to taste the wine. Duties of a cup-bearer. Cyrus's reason for not tasting the wine. His description of a feast. Cyrus's dislike of the cup-bearer. His reason for it. Amusement of the guests. Cyrus becomes a greater favorite than ever. Mandane proposes to return to Persia. Cyrus consents to remain. Fears of Mandane. Departure of Mandane. Rapid progress of Cyrus. Hunting in the park.
