Chapter II
At noon of the following day the senator went to the women's room, and while he was still on the threshold, he asked his wife--who was busy at the loom: "Where is Polykarp? I did not find him with Antonius, who is working at the placing of the altar, and I thought I might find him here." "After going to the church," said Dorothea, "he went up the mountain. Go down to the workshops, Marthana, and see if your brother has come back."
