But you cannot come back to Alexandria with me.

The day after to-morrow Calatinus, the gentleman you met at the circus yesterday, will come and take you away.

He is a very rich man, and if you please him will give you everything you desire.' I couldn't understand at all what he meant, and cried out, 'But, uncle, I don't like Calatinus, and you--you don't really mean to leave me behind ?' 'You little donkey,' said Pratinas, laughing, oh! so heartlessly, 'I'm not your uncle.

You've been my slave, and I've sold you to Calatinus; so don't quarrel with him, but learn to like him quickly.' I don't remember what he said or I said next.

I was so frightened and grieved that I don't know what I did.
