5489Should he fling himself upon his pursuers and fell them to the earth?
5489Tell me, will it?"
5489Was that momentous night destined to bring him nearer to the highest goal of his ambition or to debar him from it?

5489You?
5489my lord, how can you find it in your heart to be so cruel?
5489should he passively await impending fate?
5489who had ever seen Sabina in such a mood?
5486A litter?
5486And did any one of their busts satisfy you?
5486And did you suppose that that was new to me?
5486And he is not to know that you work here?
5486And in my snub- nose?
5486And those expectations require--?
5486And your pretty face is to be handed down to posterity in five- fold deformity?
5486Cicero?

5486Do you know what lies before you in that case?
5486He is in moderate circumstances, but of good family?
5486I will see at once to both the dresses-- but, to be sure, when are we to be ready?

5486If you saw that it hurt me to stoop when the wind blows the strips of papyrus on to the floor, would you not willingly pick them up for me?
5486May I accompany you?
5486My own fame you mean?
5486No, what?
5486No?

5486Then why did she not stay at home? 5486 Then, do you know what, dear old father?"

5486What may that be?
5486Where is she?
5486Which of them? 5486 Who knows what it may be?"
5486Who says so?
5486Why not?
5486Would an early demise of your work pain you much? 5486 Would he have offered me his own treasures if he had not wanted money?"
5486You were speaking,she said,"of the broken busts of Balbilla?"
5486Antinous stroked the blind boy''s pretty curly head, and then, as Selene was about to descend the stairs, he asked her:"May I help you?"
5486At last he broke the silence however, saying:"Your father, perhaps, will not agree to our bargain; and yet it is for him you want the money?"
5486Do you think,"he added, turning to the widow,"that perhaps a bed could be made here on which she might lie, and remain here till the factory reopens?"
5486Do you understand all that that means?
5486He was still hesitating when Arsinoe''s loud exclamation of"Who''s there?"
5486He would be a year older than you now, my child-- is your mother still alive?"
5486How can you make such a pother about nothing, Selene?"
5486If he lost his life, after all what would it matter?
5486Is it not true Mary, we shall he sincerely obliged to Selene if only she will not spoil the pleasure we have had in working for her?"
5486Is there any money left in Selene''s box?"
5486May I know your father''s name?
5486Should he go there to carry her a new pitcher in the place of the broken one?
5486Should he once more go to the steward with a request for bread and salt?
5486Should he-- should he-- should he not?
5486Tell me--you believe that I mean well by you?"
5486The manager is having a litter fetched for you.--Where do you live?"
5486Well?
5486What tortured the poor child so cruelly?
5486What was to be done now?
5486When the widow stroked her thick soft hair, Selene looked up with a smile and asked:"Have I been to sleep?"
5486Where do you live, child?"
5486Which of all these things does your father value least?"
5486While he was thus occupied, Arsinoe went up to him and asked laughing:"Hiram has not cheated me then?"
5486Why then yesterday had he shown Arsinoe her mother''s bust before her?
5486Will that do?"
5486You are not vexed with us any longer?"
5486You said just now that you were grateful; do you want now to spoil our pleasure?"
5486Your father is alive?"
5486and did you walk through the streets with a foot in this state?"
5486and yet-- do you live far from this?"
5486but how then can you find courage to expose yourself for the sixth time to a form of calumny that it is difficult to counteract?"
5486but mighty Serapis, what are we to put on?"
5483And can you dare to call the handsome Verus the admirable Verus?
5483And can you discern future events by the way and manner of the rising of the sun?
5483And what became of her?
5483And what will you do with this damp abode of fogs, which, if I mistake not, must adjoin the dining- hall?
5483And yet you want to postpone your meeting with Caesar?
5483And you are very anxious to see this marvel?
5483Are you tired?
5483But above all things, do you think you can accomplish your task in eight days and nine nights?
5483But did you ever see a calmer, kindlier, or more contented countenance?
5483But my good friend, only to get the marble--"Who thinks of marble? 5483 But tell me, Keraunus, how comes it that the doors are wanting to all the best rooms?"
5483Capital-- but why choose Papias when we have Harmodius?
5483Come, Aglaia, what will folks think of you? 5483 Did you hear what the stout man was saying about Verus?"
5483Did you order him to come to me?
5483Do you know who his walk and appearance remind me of?
5483Do you think he has lost his way?
5483For what?
5483Have another?
5483He? 5483 How can you survive in this country?"
5483How may this rare specimen of humanity look when she is awake?
5483I?
5483In eight days?
5483In honor of the Alexandrian ladies?
5483Is it necessary that I should remain with you during the rest of your labors, which must be principally directed to details?
5483That is quite admissable-- and the broken statues?
5483The Emperor?
5483Then give Papias the commission but the hapless mutilated pavements- what will you do with them?
5483To what end?
5483Well?
5483What are you doing here?
5483What prevents your speaking openly to me?
5483What reason can you have?
5483What?
5483When did she set out?
5483When did you forward your petition to the prefect''s office?
5483Where do you hope to be able to lodge Hadrian?
5483Who?
5483Why Urania of all others?
5483Why do you want to delay my husband''s arrival?
5483Why this foolish bandying of words?
5483Why? 5483 Will it be agreeable to you, Caesar, to consider the despatches and letters that have just arrived?"
5483You?
5483And what is begotten of the darkness of death-- who can tell?"
5483And where am I to get the money to fill us all with meat?"
5483Antinous raised his head a little on his hands and asked:"What is it?"
5483But do you really believe in the power of light to diminish noise?"
5483But who can distinguish what is his work and what that of his scholars?
5483But who can reckon on the Empress''s moods?
5483But you-- tell me, what do you call the little dog that Panthea made a scarlet cloak for?"
5483Did you see her on her way to the Caesareum?"
5483Did you see the fat fellow turn pale when you said that it would be but a few days before the Emperor would make his entry here?
5483Have you the tablets ready?"
5483He is the descendant of slaves, and you expect that I shall be his obedient humble servant, whenever he chooses to call me?"
5483He who wants to look tall on it wears the cothurnus, and is not a mountain the highest vantage ground that a man can find for the sole of his foot?
5483How would it do if you filled the jar with one- fourth wine and three- fourths water?
5483If it were not infuriating it would be laughable-- for who is this man, who?
5483Is it Nile- mud or blood that runs in that huge mortal''s veins?"
5483It is true that the steward''s false pride had roused his indignation, and who can listen calmly to any comment on a stain on his birth?
5483It was your little sister, was it not, of whom you were speaking to me lately?"
5483Must we endure him at table with us every day?"
5483Now can you contrive that Ptolemaeus and Favorinus shall go with Apollonius to meet the Emperor at Pelusium?"
5483Of what avail were all his ability and the most honest good- will if no opportunity offered for his executing his work in noble materials?
5483The Apollo and the nine Muses stand in the room you intend for an audience- hall-- do they not?"
5483Then, when he asks me''Who is the happy man who begot you?''
5483Titianus turned his back on the steward, and asked the architect:"Well, my good Pontius, what part of the palace have you your eye upon?"
5483Well, and what next?"
5483What are you standing there for man?
5483What are you whimpering about?"
5483What is the man''s name?"
5483What is to be done?"
5483Where is the lazy fellow hiding himself?"
5483Why?"
5483or did that devoted spouse always remain at home?"
5492And are you a Christian, too?
5492And can a man take upon him the sufferings of others, think you, like a garment or a burden?
5492And did you see a single man of them among the citizens who set to work to restore the statue to its place?
5492And her adopted daughter, Selene?
5492And she was going to the sick?
5492And should I be one of them?
5492And the lame girl who accompanied the philosopher-- does she too believe in the crucified God?
5492And what happened?
5492Are you sure of that?
5492But is not the poet''s realm the infinite, and can the architect ever get beyond the finite and the limited?
5492But she did not go in among them?
5492But why did you not come sooner, and so give me no time to behave like a fool?
5492Did the widow formally adopt Arsinoe?
5492Did you understand her?
5492Here, among the Egyptians?
5492How came such a man among the plague- stricken people of Besa? 5492 How can you, a reasonable man, so over- estimate the value of your possession?
5492How did she die?
5492How do you know?
5492How should that be? 5492 I should wish that life might end with death,"said Antinous thoughtfully;"and yet--""Well?"
5492Is dame Hannah at home?
5492Is it not good and kind,asked he,"of our Heavenly Father to lead us to dame Hannah?"
5492Is it true that they worship an ass and a dove?
5492Is this a mere trick of chance or a decree of Fate? 5492 Kindness?"
5492Move me forward, Antaeus and Atlas, the sculptor Pollux is her lover? 5492 Perfectly well; but do you interpret them rightly?
5492Shall he come to visit you when I leave you?
5492Then is the nature of the divinity a measurable unit?
5492Then you do not know what she said?
5492To her God?
5492What can she matter to me? 5492 What did you discuss with Caesar to- day?"
5492What happened to you, my Lord?
5492What privilege can you mean?
5492When did they go?
5492Where is she? 5492 Who knows what is hidden there in the basket?"
5492Why should they not have killed the children?
5492Will you do me a service, Mary?
5492Will you worship this statue, or do you refuse to do so?
5492Yes, yes, and you will not quite forget me, the poor cripple?
5492You certainly can not be in earnest, and if it is true that you love me--"What now, boy?
5492You know him?
5492You saw them?
5492You will? 5492 ''An old one?
5492And is it good and kind that they should have poisoned my brother''s children with their potions?"
5492And she?
5492And who was she?--and who was He?
5492Antinous shuddered at the words, and asked,"And why would she not?"
5492Are you ambitious, boy?"
5492But do you think this temple will outlast the poems of Homer?"
5492Can you forgive me for my conduct?"
5492Do you not like my choice?"
5492Do you see, boy?
5492Had any one ever had more to suffer than she?
5492Hadrian opened the leather bag, took out a roll, hastily broke it open, and then, after rapidly glancing at the contents, exclaimed:"What is this?
5492Have any letters come?"
5492Have you altered the plan of the bridge?"
5492Have you any message for her?"
5492Have you understood the meaning of these signs?"
5492How did it come among to- day''s letters?"
5492Is he become a physician?"
5492It has turned out a pleasant evening, and what a bad one I looked forward to--""Because the woman by the tomb startled you?"
5492It remained closed-- nay, the lock is spoiled.--But, if I may ask, how came the girl into your house?"
5492Now-- could he succeed in modelling that lovely head free- hand and from memory?
5492Only think of the innocent Iphigenia who was dragged to the altar; did not the gulf in the Forum close when Curtius had leaped into it?
5492Was dame Hannah dead?
5492Was it that Hapi, the Nile- god, was angry with the Emperor?
5492What can be hanging over us?
5492What do you think now?
5492What other art is gifted with the power of creating a work so imperishable and so far transcending all ordinary standards?"
5492What was the hideous fatality that threatened his sovereign?
5492Where is she?"
5492Wherefore had it been her lot to endure so much through the same sentiment which beautified life to others?
5492Which among you can boast of beauty greater than his?
5492Which should we rank the higher, power and poverty or mental wealth?
5492Who is the being that every man, from a slave to a consul, would soonest hear call him''Father?"''
5492Why should this particular sack have come into my hands to- day of all others?
5492Why then should those who serve it with their intellect be burdened with petty cares?
5492Why, out of twenty documents it contains, should I have taken out this very one?
5492Will you come with me, Eumenes?"
5492Will you have me with all my moods, with all my faults and weaknesses?"
5492Will you sometimes think of me, and pray for me too, to your Redeemer?"
5492Yes or no?"
5492You are there Julia?
5492You will never leave me, you will warn, support me and protect me?"
5492You will take me?
5492and which of you ever displayed so much goodness and faithfulness as your new associate?"
5492asked the captain,"will you come?
5492asked the soldier,"or do you suppose that I was in jest when I swore by my sword?
5492pale- face-- are you a Christian?"
5491And Lucilla?
5491And beauty?
5491And did you send for me only to have that done?
5491And do you complain of that?
5491And my sister shelters you all?
5491And on what facts is this confidence based?
5491And what is the upshot of this sensible talk? 5491 And you would like to know what the stars promise him?"
5491And you yourself have never loved?
5491Are you in such pressing haste to spoil the poor child''s amusement? 5491 Aye that he is, and besides all that-- may I tell you something and will you stand by me?"
5491Aye-- who for, indeed?
5491But have you proved her? 5491 Does she?
5491Flowers to a man who does not care about them?
5491Have you no sort of consideration? 5491 How did that happen?"
5491How, pray?
5491I can not write well, and even if I could my messenger--"Has my sister had any search made for him?
5491No, but of his fortune which is bound up with you?
5491No,replied Arsinoe,"but so far as regards Pollux--""Listen to me"said the widow,"have I not told you of our loving Father in Heaven?
5491No? 5491 No?"
5491Not even if I put my Perseus at your orders for every thing you may require of him? 5491 On my birthday?
5491Then you want to hear the decisive word spoken at once, to- day?
5491To whom, then, if I may ask the question?
5491To- morrow, Father?
5491What makes you so confident of that?
5491Why are you so cruel, Mary?
5491With what else can women reward men''s virtues or do honor to their beauty?
5491With your foster- children?
5491You know Pollux-- the sculptor Pollux?
5491You know the account given of the Christians by Pliny and Trajan?
5491You wished to speak with me?
5491You? 5491 And let me ask you, has the humblest stone- carrier so hard a life as you have? 5491 And now let me just ask you before I go: Can you tell me what Hadrian read in the stars?
5491And tell me, you will let me know when you have found out where he and his parents have gone?"
5491And what great sins had she committed?
5491And you want me to seek your lover?"
5491And you were always kindly disposed toward him?"
5491Are the Christians here good citizens and devoted to the welfare of the state?"
5491Are you happy in this house?"
5491Are you satisfied with this?"
5491Are you still and always as cold, as passive as you were then when you belonged half to life and half to death?
5491Arsinoe did not give him time to speak to her, for she went straight up to him, greeted him, and asked timidly:"You do not remember who I am?"
5491As he spoke the lad fell on the ground before her and tried to clasp her knees; but she said reproachfully:"What does all this mean?
5491Caesar will be in no danger?"
5491Can you not understand how silly it is to pray to stones?
5491Do you see in her the spark which may be fanned to a flame?
5491Do you try too, to read the stars?"
5491Do you understand me?"
5491Hadrian however called to him:''Why are you scratching yourself, my friend?''
5491Have you detected in her the germ which may possibly grow to a strong desire for salvation and to devotion to the Redeemer?"
5491Have you heard of Ammonius, the astrologer?"
5491Have you seen one single image in this house?"
5491Have you time to listen to a short story?"
5491Have your thoughts never, never met mine on the way to you?
5491He omitted on this occasion to offer his customary greeting, but hastily asked her:"Has Sabina been told?"
5491Her lover was no doubt seeking her with anxiety and sorrow; but how was he to find her?
5491I ask you, will you obey or will you not?"
5491I do not know where he and his parents are, and how are they ever to find me here?"
5491If one only knew who it is all for?"
5491Not though a glance at this tablet shows you that when he is nothing but ashes the world will still continue long to obey your nod?"
5491Not when you have seen that your own star outlives his?
5491Selene recognized him and asked calmly:"Do you want me, or dame Hannah?"
5491The gate- house is swept away, there is a new steward and there- but, tell me how came you here?"
5491Then he let it go and said kindly:"And will Verus fulfil all you expect of a son?"
5491There-- are your cushions right-- so?
5491What is my life after all?
5491What power can reside in these frail figures of brass or marble?
5491Where can the chariots be?"
5491Why do you cut off this girl, who still stands with both feet in the world, from all that can give her pleasure?
5491With what object did you send for me?"
5491You are afraid of the praetor?"
5491You women stay here; do you understand me?"
5491and he is out of danger?"
5491what have we here?"
5490A document from Caesar?
5490A slave dares to give orders in my house? 5490 And can that darken this lovely morning to you?
5490And can the angels see?
5490And do I deny it? 5490 And they are--?"
5490And what do the interpreters say?
5490And you are inclined to complain of this oracle?
5490Are there any angels with red wings?
5490But is it permitted to ask what dark spirit so effectually produced the contrary result, and made a Timon of the fair Lucilla''s happy husband?
5490Do you know what has become of the girl?
5490Do you think not?
5490From whom do you know that?
5490How could I think--?
5490How should I have seen her?
5490How would it be if I followed you among the Christians? 5490 I-- great Caesar?
5490I?
5490Is it so pleasant to have to wade through dust? 5490 Is that all?"
5490My part?
5490No, positively not, for at the same time you must know that Keraunus''daughter Selene--"Well?
5490No--? 5490 Nothing?"
5490Quite right, at the same time--"Well, my lord?
5490Repent it?
5490Then you promise me to carry out my wish?
5490Timon?
5490What do you mean?
5490What good could it do me to ruin you? 5490 What is resignation?"
5490What is the use,she asked,"of cheating the children with silly tales?
5490What was that?
5490Where have you been?
5490Why what ails you my child?
5490With the bottle that held it?
5490Would you be disposed now, to work for me at a moderate price?
5490Would you like to hear what was prophesied of me?
5490You?
5490Am I so alarming that a simple question from me is enough to drive all the blood out of your cheeks?
5490And he himself?
5490And my bust?
5490And was not he a Man among men, a Youth among the young, a Child among children?
5490And what can you want with that wretched, pale- faced, innocent creature?
5490Antinous vainly strove for utterance; Hadrian however came to his aid by asking him more angrily than before:"Did the girl steal it from you?
5490Arsinoe bowed her head in assent, and Paulina went on:"And do you bear your loss with resignation?"
5490But I-- I-- shall I tell you who I am?"
5490But can any man make a woman understand it?
5490But in the name of all the gods, boy, what is the matter?
5490But now for something else; how did this little phial come into the hands of the dealer Hiram?"
5490But to be sure she often asserts her rights-- to return then: where do you get the money?"
5490But where was she to go with the little ones?
5490Could he ever confess that he had heedlessly parted with this gift of all others from his master?
5490Did not His existence lend sanctity to every age, and especially childhood?
5490Did you ever see me melancholy?
5490Do I not honestly confess that I seek truth wherever I may, where I see even a gleam of hope of finding it?"
5490Do you agree with me?"
5490Do you suppose he follows me whenever I call?"
5490Do you understand?"
5490Have you noticed here a cynic philosopher whose starving brother we maintain?
5490How could he, Verus, expect that Caesar should ally his fortunate star with the fatal star of another doomed to die?
5490How should Hadrian choose for his son and successor a man who was destined to die before him?
5490How would it be, think you, if rich Plutarch had sent you those roses, not on his own behalf but as a greeting on the part of his son?
5490Ought we to withhold from them a protecting hand?
5490Shall I give you an example?
5490She was only a few steps from the door-- but why did not the Graces come springing out to meet her?
5490Tell me, you do not like to see me vexed and worried?"
5490The lictors would find it difficult to apprehend a shade and the girl has suffered the worst punishment of all.--But you?
5490The other went close up to him and asked him in a whisper:"Why, where do you suppose I get the money with which I pay for our food and lodging?"
5490They must be visible; but"--and this"but"brought sudden illumination to the praetor''s mind,"why should Caesar see them?"
5490Was she deceived, was she dreaming or was she tricked by some evil spirit?
5490We have enough of that intolerable nuisance here in Egypt-- or am I to be delighted at the prospect of hurting my feet on hard stones?"
5490What had happened here?
5490What happened to your poor father?"
5490What now would you charge for a dress for her?"
5490What was this?
5490What would you say child to a long flowing purple robe and a chariot with white horses, and runners in front?"
5490Where could she hope to find a refuge at once?
5490Where were her friends gone?
5490Wherefore then should we exclude them and deny them baptism?"
5490Wherein does the utmost aim of the Christian life consist?
5490Who knows whether the stars may not be?
5490Who would have believed that the silent, dreamy lad had so much presence of mind, and such cunning powers of invention?
5490Why did she see no birds, no flowers in the window?
5490Will you be so good as to allow her to speak?"
5490You agree with me?
5490You knew how highly I valued it, and could part with it to such hands?"
5490Your father was quite well yesterday and now?
5490is it you, Verus?"
5490what shall I say to your perfidy?
5485Against what?
5485Am I standing before the new visitor to Lochias, the architect Claudius Venator of Rome?
5485An Alexandrian?
5485An old one?
5485And am I-- I too, to be hunted down by a dog, in this house?
5485And is the lad a proficient in magic?
5485And the big dog?
5485And what is that long, huge dyke, which connects the island with the mainland? 5485 And what particularly pleased you in him?"
5485And who is Pollux, whom you were calling to help you when you recovered your senses?
5485At any rate it perishes with persons it concerns; there have been no Lagides left here-- how many years?
5485Balbilla? 5485 But why then should Marc Antony have shut himself up, in yonder sea- washed prison?"
5485Can he do anything?
5485Can our souls have ever lived in other bodies, and sometimes recall the impressions made in that former existence? 5485 Did he bite you?"
5485Did he say may? 5485 Did it bite you?"
5485Do, you feel any pain?
5485For men or for dogs?
5485Has anything specially pleasant happened to you?
5485Has he had any food?
5485Have you eaten all that I sent down to Lochias to- day, my dear Pontius?
5485Have you examined that magnificent cushion?
5485How is that?
5485Is that dangerous dog, gnashing its teeth there, your property?
5485Is that your son?
5485Now, in all this bustle?
5485Probably of the complaisant model who ventures into Lochias at night?
5485Still you have recognized the phenomenon, but you disapprove of Favorinus''explanation of it?
5485Then do you excuse his conduct?
5485We, as fellow- artists, may waive ceremony.--What are you doing in there?
5485Well then, we are justified in expecting something from the city,"What for?
5485Well?
5485Well?
5485What do you say to this Urania? 5485 What does that matter to you?"
5485What farther may I learn from you?
5485What has that to do with it?
5485What is her name? 5485 What is it?
5485What is the matter?
5485What leads you to suppose so?
5485Where did you get it from?
5485Who told you that it was shame that led Antony to hide himself in that place?
5485Yes, but who are you?
5485You have the gift of divination, then?
5485A father whose daughter has been knocked down and hurt--""Then, Argus actually bit her?"
5485And now what is to be done?
5485And you say he is fat, is he jolly?"
5485Argus, what do you think?"
5485But what does a gay bird like you know of dull care?"
5485Did he not say"please to come in, or have the goodness to come in?"
5485Did she know or suspect whom she was talking to?
5485Did the young artist work from the model here at Lochias?"
5485Do you follow me, boy?"
5485Do you not hear the bark of a big dog mingle with the snapping of the three Graces?"
5485Do you understand what I mean?"
5485Does he still insist on cooking with his own hands?"
5485Hadrian looked round in bewilderment, and asked:"Where is Mastor?"
5485Have you any of you seen the Emperor''s work?"
5485Here I live in excellent company, the work progresses, and-- well, why should I deny it?
5485How came the dog in our palace?"
5485How would it be if I called Lochias my Timonareum?"
5485I will inform the prefect Titianus of your proceedings here, and when the Emperor arrives he shall know--""What?"
5485I-- do you suppose I could ever blush?
5485If we can not succeed any way in scraping together the money for my dress, we can still--""Well?"
5485If your friend will do us humble folks so much honor, I beg he will step into our room; it is clean, is it not sir?
5485Is Antinous comfortably in bed?"
5485Is Eros the friend of the happy, or does happiness only follow in his train?"
5485It is said that he caused the life of the great architect, Apollodorus-- who carried out such noble works for Trajan-- to be extinguished-- and why?
5485Lie down Argus, are you crazy, old fellow?
5485Might we not find there a morsel of meat or cheese, or something of the kind?"
5485On the way thither, Hadrian asked:"Is the steward so miserably paid that he is forced to content himself with such meagre fare?"
5485Or is it that mere common men become great artists simply because the Genius selects them as his temple to dwell in?
5485Pontius asked in astonishment:"When?
5485Thank you for your help-- and my pitcher?"
5485The Bithynian obeyed her behest, and while the girl re- fastened her peplum over her shoulders she asked him again:"Who are you?
5485The old woman had taken him for no more than an artist; she could not know who he was, and yet she had recognized-- or had Titianus been indiscreet?
5485The second hour after midnight had begun, when Hadrian, standing before the rough- cast clay bust, asked Pollux:"What is this to be?"
5485We arrived late last night, and Pontius put us--""Then you are with the architect from Rome?"
5485What did he care for the terrors the dog might have caused a mere girl?
5485What did you say your name is young man?"
5485What is she like, the lady you mean?"
5485What is the man''s name, and of what kith and kin is he?"
5485What is this by way of an erection?"
5485What is to be made out of that newly- set- up mass of clay?"
5485What more do you desire?"
5485What then is the mysterious power that aided you to do it?''
5485When Pollux observed this modest meal, he called out:"That is prisoners''fare, Pontius; have we nothing better in the house than that?"
5485Which is the bluer, the sky or the sea?
5485Who are you?"
5485Who executed this admirable work, pray?"
5485Who knows what you will find up in the midst of all the muddle yonder?"
5485by whom?"
5485civil words after what has now happened?"
5485what do you want, fellow?"
5487And are you quite sure that you never read wrongly in this great record?
5487And her name is Arsinoe?
5487And how should a simple little thing, such as I am, be able to help an artist?
5487And leave the old woman to commit some other stupid blunder?
5487And now as to the flowers?
5487And the flowers?
5487And what are you?
5487And what is signified by the dove and fish and anchor round it?
5487And what is tune? 5487 And what man,"retorted the praetor,"would ever be so bold as to court Balbilla, could he hear how cruelly she judges an innocent admirer of beauty?"
5487And where is dame Julia?
5487And who is this girl yonder?
5487And will they allow it here?
5487And yet he sends flowers?
5487Antinous?
5487But how could she possibly mistake that little man for you?
5487But what has happened to you, my old friend? 5487 But who was Keraunus?"
5487Do we want to show Caesar nothing but a few silly pretty faces?--and not something of our wealth and taste?
5487Has life been so easy and comfortable then at the steward''s?
5487Have you noticed the faint scent of lavender that comes through the window?
5487How could I?
5487How did this ivy- leaf get into your hair?
5487How was it that the children of the most illustrious and wealthy citizens had been overlooked in assigning this most prominent part?
5487In a minute-- tell me how did you find Selene?
5487In the morning? 5487 In the street?"
5487Is Hadrian then in a merry mood?
5487Is your master Caesar''s spy?
5487Not he, can you not guess?
5487Or did you expect to find the fair Roxana with the prefect''s wife?
5487Out of tune?
5487Revolting?
5487Roxana?
5487The daughter of the fat steward, who was attacked by our big dog?
5487Then am I to begin with fresh suggestions, and all over again?
5487Then when waiting is over may I have my reward?
5487Then you bring these flowers from Lochias?
5487Then you have seen evil signs in the heavens?
5487Till to- day he was very gay-- but since last night--"Well?
5487To- morrow morning?
5487Towards the south?
5487What do you say?
5487What does this mean?
5487What for?
5487What?
5487Where can I find her?
5487Where is father?
5487Where?
5487Which means--?
5487Why did they not bring her here?
5487Why do you care then for that grumpy niggard?
5487Will there not be enough for a new bracelet too?
5487Will you?
5487You are free to- day-- are you going into the city?
5487You will? 5487 is my breakfast ready?"
5487--"Have you any pain in your head my boy?"
5487After such a morning what could noon and evening be to him without her?
5487And after all, what was he?
5487And do you deny my right to share your secret?"
5487And how about curling my hair?
5487And how are we to obtain mere children from you antiquity- mongers?"
5487And who had ever seen ladies and young girls filling the best places instead of men, as was the case to- day?
5487And who is the fair one who has succeeded in waking up his slumbering heart?"
5487And your new frock?
5487Antinous gazed at his sovereign in astonishment; why should Phlegon''s objections make him so furious when he had answered his so kindly?
5487Arsinoe did not waken her, but asked Pollux, with a roguish laugh:"We shall find our way alone, shall we not?"
5487But could it be possible?
5487But you stood up for her friend Pollux-- what do you know about her?"
5487Can you tell me where to find the fair Arsinoe''s sister?"
5487Did you come here for Julia''s sake, or did you come--""Well?"
5487Do you remember how the fever took poor Berenice?
5487First I must ask you, shall I go to your master and tell him that you have betrayed his presence in Alexandria?"
5487Had invisible hands brought them here already?
5487Have I your permission gentlemen?"
5487Have you been beaten?"
5487Have you forgotten whom you are to represent?
5487He bowed low, and taking up Hadrian''s last words he said:"The stars disquiet you, Caesar?"
5487Here is the house of Death, here are the planets-- but what do you know of such things?
5487How would it beseem us to appear in the streets without a slave?"
5487I do not know the house, but the donkey driver--""Is it far from here?"
5487I may trust you; and never betray to Antinous what you compelled me to do?"
5487Is the sky altogether overcast?"
5487Is there anything of importance among these papers?"
5487Lucilla clasped her hands in astonishment, and Verus cried to the poetess:"Now you see what a satisfaction your cruel tongue has deprived you of?"
5487May I do so noble Julia?
5487Shall I and my following hang on to your skirts and stay with you till nightfall, when you and your steed must return home?
5487She did not draw it away, and after they had gone on thus for a few paces he sighed and said:"Do you know how I feel?"
5487The dealer had caught Plutarch''s words, and asked him, when they had gone a few steps from Arsinoe, with eager indignation:"Did I hear you rightly?
5487The driver will conduct you to the garden of Pudeus''widow where stands the house of dame Hannah; you remember the name?"
5487The father of the girl is a Roman citizen then?"
5487The slave started, and seeing at once that Verus was right, he asked in alarm:"What then can I do?"
5487To whom?
5487What could be its destination?
5487What may not the new year bring in its course?"
5487When will the prefect''s wife fetch you?"
5487Where is the girl to be found?"
5487While the old woman stood muttering some inaudible words, the slave came into the room and said:"To- day is a general holiday, may I go out too?"
5487Why are there no means of preserving such a face and such a form from old age and wrinkles?"
5487a work- woman in your factory, and here among our daughters?"
5487cried Arsinoe, falling from all her clouds of happiness, startled and grieved--"do you know where she is?"
5487what can you care about the poor sick creature?"
5487where?"
5484Again you are speaking half poetically, or have these people elected you as their advocate?
5484And are there many like him among your Jews?
5484And do you like it?
5484And does Hadrian share your wish?
5484And does a wild boy of fifteen ever reflect on the consequences of his audacity? 5484 And entirely from memory?"
5484And he was not avaricious about it?
5484And how are we to take part in the show?
5484And is that nothing which lies in the cup board there, and stands on the cornice shelf? 5484 And may I not be proud that a grandmother, who is a Roman, as my wife is, can find it so easy to blush?
5484And now?
5484And the arrangement of the water- fight?
5484And this carved cup?
5484And this cylinder from Cyprus, with the elegant incised work?
5484And what did you say to Tryphon?
5484And you found?
5484And your wife?
5484Are not you taller than she was?
5484Are you his enemy?
5484Behind your father''s back?
5484But what can I do, then? 5484 But, father,"cried Selene,"we can not show ourselves in such an assembly in our common garments, and where are we to find the money to buy new ones?"
5484Do not you think Domitia Lucilla, that she ought to allow your husband to be of service to her?
5484Do they take part in the rejoicings?
5484Do you know the steward then?
5484Do you know what?
5484Do you remember the festival of Adonis, and how I stopped the runaway horse of that Numidian officer?
5484Does everything in this room belong to you?
5484Exterminated?
5484Have you lost anything?
5484Have you seen it?
5484He asked what day it was, and he is certainly casting my horoscope, for the night when my mother bore me--"The stars then are to seal our fate?
5484How can I be of use to you?
5484How long have the sculptors been reckoned among birds?
5484Is it likely to happen soon?
5484It seems to annoy you that they should be organized in honor of Hadrian?
5484May I believe you?
5484May I inquire what?
5484May I?
5484My wife? 5484 Now, is not it true, you are pleased?"
5484So many?
5484The mosaic belongs to the palace,cried the steward, this time in a louder voice,"Do you hear?
5484Then you may dispose of it as you please?
5484Well, what do you say to that?
5484Well, what?
5484Well-- what?
5484What about the picture?
5484What do you say, Florus? 5484 What does that letter contain?"
5484What has that to do with us?
5484What were they doing?
5484What?
5484Where did you get the new head?
5484Whom else should it belong to?
5484Why not sooner?
5484Why should I conceal it? 5484 Why, what has been happening to you?
5484You are getting tired of standing?
5484You are not happy?
5484You, Pollux?
5484After all, what do you know of what I may possess?"
5484After looking for some time at the sculptor''s work Arsinoe grew calmer, and turning to Pollux she asked:"Did you make it?"
5484After the last piece of property had passed through his hands, the steward asked:"Well, what do you think of them?"
5484And when Keraunus told him whence this or that specimen of his treasures had been obtained, he only murmured--"Indeed"or"Really,""Do you think so?"
5484Are the Alexandrians ready at last with their preparations?"
5484Are there not among your learned and verse spinning associates certain men who resemble this Urania?"
5484As regards the Apelles--""Well?"
5484But when my father learns that it is you who have given me the portrait--""Is he capable of destroying it?"
5484But where was he to get the money for Arsinoe''s outfit?
5484But you-- can I help you?"
5484Do they dare to grudge their money for the reception of Caesar?"
5484Do you find it so?"
5484Do you still always carry Ovid''s love- poems about with you?"
5484Had he on his way back to his rooms been seized with a fresh attack of giddiness?
5484Had the architect''s wine bereft him of his senses?
5484Has Hadrian then determined after all to inhabit the Caesareum?"
5484Have you ever seen them Selene?
5484Have you got over your ill temper Titianus?
5484Have you secured places for us on the seats kept for the town council?"
5484Have you the same feeling?"
5484How came you in the papyrus factory?"
5484How long has Keraunus had dealings with the doctor?"
5484Is Arsinoe as pretty as she promised to become?
5484My sister--""Is she pretty?"
5484Now are you happy?"
5484Now, does my way of stating it please you better?"
5484Or is the reverse the truth?
5484Pray how did he know that?"
5484Shall I place the lamp there, on the table?
5484The girl colored at the words, and said with pleased excitement:"Are you flattering me or did Hephaestion really say that?"
5484To the prefect''s respectful inquiries after her health, she shrugged her shoulders and replied:"How should I be?
5484To whom do I owe them but to you?"
5484What are you doing down there?"
5484What is the matter Titianus?"
5484What is there that I can do with a happy mind?
5484When Verus was alone with his wife he went up in a friendly manner and said:"May I drive you home again?"
5484Why, how long then is it since your mother died?"
5484Will that do?"
5484Will you soon have done?"
5484You ask what I am afraid of?
5484and will you not write in verse all that you have seen to- day?"
5484how could he keep the promise given at the meeting?
5484that?
