Then he nodded his bearded head approvingly, and said gravely: "A well-considered work, and carried out with remarkable freedom; this mantle drawn over the bosom would not disgrace a Phidias. All is broad, characteristic and true. Did the young artist work from the model here at Lochias?" "I have seen no model, and I believe that he evolved the whole figure out of his head," replied Pontius.

"For me," said Selene, blushing. "Yes, my child, he brought a large and beautiful nosegay of flowers, and said 'your friend at Lochias sends you his greeting." "My friend at Lochias?" murmured thoughtfully Selene to herself. Then her eyes sparkled with gladness, and she asked quickly: You said the man who brought the flowers was very tall." "He was."

I said, and I repeat, that it is simply impossible." "You judge rightly, a young girl stood for it." The Emperor glanced at the architect, as much as to say, I knew it! Pontius asked in astonishment: "When? I have never seen a female form within these walls." "Recently." "But I have never quitted Lochias for a minute.

We were together here at Lochias to-night, and yet in distant years and other places. The notes of the singers, the melodies of the musicians, the figures executed by the dancers, were lost upon us.

The new scene which would result from this change had been conjured before the Queen's mental vision with marvellous celerity, and she described it in brief, vivid language to the architect. The garden should remain, but must be enlarged from the Lochias to the bridge. Thence a covered colonnade would lead to the palace.

"First, imprisonment here at Lochias.

I hastened to inquire. "Not from a distance, though landing may be a shock: they tell me it's all so Italian now. It was Greek in old days. I've read that there isn't a stone left of my of the lovely place on Lochias Point, except the foundations they found in the seventies. But I must go to see what's left of the Baths, even though there's only a bit of mosaic and the remains of a room.

"Then you bring these flowers from Lochias?" "She went out, and she could not get back home again, she is now lying in the house of a stranger." "Where?" "That must be quite indifferent to you " "By no means, quite the contrary. I beg you to tell me the whole truth." "Eternal gods! what can you care about the poor sick creature?" "Nothing whatever; but I must know whither you are riding."

The white mounds which had risen there had been recognized as tents, even from the Serpent Island. Pyrrhus had returned in the afternoon with tidings that Antony's mounted troops had defeated those of Octavianus. This time the news of victory could be trusted, for the palace at Lochias was illuminated for a festival and when Dion landed there was a great bustle on the quay.
