And her valiant spirit could not be satisfied with intentions but longed to act upon them. In Besa she could set to work with Hannah, and this prospect lightened her grief in quitting Alexandria. A favoring wind bore the voyagers southward safe to their destination. Two days after their departure Antinous once more stole into Paulina's garden.
Flight was Saint, Pope and hero to both, and Mena knew little beyond the horizon of St. Kenelm's, but she and Paula were fascinated with one another; and Magdalen saw more danger in interfering than in acquiescing, though she gave no consent to Paulina's aspirations after admission into the perfect Sisterhood that was to be.
Now and again he would ask after Arsinoe. Once he allowed himself to be guided to the house where she lived, but he would not knock at Paulina's door and seemed overawed by the grandeur of the house.
On the return of his wife he listened to her pathetic account of Paulina's sad history, and then produced the letter to which he had referred on first entering. "This letter necessitates my riding into town immediately. It is a curious document in its way, therefore lend me your ear." Opening it he began to read.

She had once had two children, an only daughter besides her son. The girl bad died in the spring-time of her maidenhood, and Paulina thought of her at every hour of her life.
When, on the eighth morning of his labors, he was taking a few minutes rest, his brother's master came past the rapidly advancing work, and after contemplating it for some time exclaimed: "Splendid, splendid! Our time has produced nothing to compare with it!" An hour later Pollux was standing at the door of Paulina's town-house, and let the knocker fall heavily on the door.
Paulina was kind, never was irritable, had her dressed and waited upon like her own daughter, kissed her in the morning and when she bid her good-night; and yet Arsinoe had never once thought of Paulina's demand that she should love her.
"Bah!" he said at length, "she is nothing to me. Let her go." He put out the light, closed the door and passing through the crowd of revellers, went off to Simon's house. The inside of Paulina's house was a wreck.
In a private interview with Paulina, however, his rage passed all bounds, and it was only Paulina's tearful entreaties that induced him to continue to act as her agent, and not even her tears had moved him had not Paulina solemnly sworn that never again would she allow her blundering crudity to insert itself into the delicate finesse of Rosenblatt's financial operations.
She could have shouted aloud for joy, but she did not stir till Paulina's chariot was standing still in front of her house. The door-keeper bustled out as usual to help his mistress to step out of the high-slung vehicle.
