One of a pair of fleet bloodhounds which were ever leashed together was named Nich, and the other Syn, in memory that he had been betrothed on the festival of Saint Nicodemus and wedded on Saint Synesius' day.
'Ah, if all my priests were but like them! or my people either! said Synesius, chatting quietly in full gallop, like a true son of the saddle. 'They offered up prayers for victory, sallied out at the head of the peasants, and met the Moors in a narrow pass. There their hearts failed them a little.
Come down whatsoever they are, we have no time to lose. And collecting his scattered forces, Synesius pushed on rapidly towards the object which had attracted his attention. 'Antelopes! cried one. 'Wild horses! cried another. 'Tame ones, rather! cried Synesius, with a gesture of wrath. 'I saw the flash of arms! 'The Ausurians! And a yell of rage rang from the whole troop.
But I mean old Miriam you know. She has been lending Synesius money to fight the black fellows with; and really it was high time. They had burnt every homestead for miles through the province.
I do really; and the supererogatory virtue of kindness may be acknowledged out of the pale of the Romish Church. In regard to Gregory and Synesius, you will see presently that I have not wronged them altogether. As you have ordered the 'Athenaeums, I will not send one to-morrow so as to repeat my ill fortune of being too late. But tell me if you would like to have any from me, and how many.
Synesius in his good-nature might dignify him with the name of brother, but to her he was a powerless pedant, destined to die without having wrought any deliverance on the earth, as indeed the event proved. Plutarch of Athens? He was superannuated. Syrianus? A mere logician, twisting Aristotle to mean what she knew, and he ought to have known, Aristotle never meant. Her father?
At least a thoroughly converted philosopher for poor dear Synesius is half heathen still, I often fancy, and hankers after the wisdom of the Egyptian will be a curious sight; and to talk with so famous and so learned a man would always be a pleasure; but to argue with him, or any other human being, none whatsoever. 'Why, then?
Synesius, have you a church wherein I can perform the evening service, and give a word of exhortation to these my children? Synesius sighed. 'There is a ruin, which was last month a church. 'And is one still. Man did not place there the presence of God, and man cannot expel it.
But now I know I have a right to follow it, because it gives me endurance, promptness, courage, self-control, as well as health and cheerfulness: and therefore Ah! a fresh ostrich-track! And stopping short, Synesius began pricking slowly up the hillside. 'Back! whispered he, at last. 'Quietly and silently. Lie down on your horse's neck, as I do, or the long-necked rogues may see you.
And then, wearied out with fatigue of body and mind, he forgot Synesius, Victoria, and the rest, and seemed to himself to wander all night among the vine-clad glens of Lebanon, amid the gardens of lilies, and the beds of spices; while shepherds' music lured him on and on, and girlish voices, chanting the mystic idyll of his mighty ancestor, rang soft and fitful through his weary brain. ...............
