Quo Vadis

CHAPTER XXIII
11/15

Thou art afraid lest I summon my slaves and command them to take Lygia.

"Then remember this, I shall speak before all to Chilo, and write a letter home that I have gone to Beneventum.

I shall have no messengers hereafter but you.

Remember this, and do not irritate me longer." Here he was indignant, and his face was contorted with anger.
