Antinous and Mastor at once quitted the Emperor's room; in the corridor the lad beckoned the slave to him and said in a low voice: "You can hold your tongue I know, will you do me a favor?" "Three sooner than one," replied the Sarmatian. "You are free to-day--are you going into the city?" "I think so."
