The officers then repaired to their respective camps.
Brutus was greatly pleased at this decision.

To fight the battle had been his original desire, and as his counsels had prevailed, he was, of course, gratified with the prospect for the morrow.

He arranged a sumptuous entertainment in his tent, and invited all the officers of his division of the army to sup with him.

The party spent the night in convivial pleasures, and in mutual congratulations at the prospect of the victory which, as they believed, awaited them on the morrow.

Brutus entertained his guests with brilliant conversation all the evening, and inspired them with his own confident anticipations of success in the conflict which was to ensue.
Cassius, on the other hand, in his camp by the sea, was silent and desponding.
