Under the cornice that topped the columns of red marble, clear in the light of a lamp, stood Aulus, with one hand outstretched before him as if to receive a gift. He was staring down at it, and the eyes of every slave in both courtyards followed his, for the and was a red and dark as the marble.Hylas started toward him, and the movement seemed to release the bond of fear that had held the other slaves still. Aulus stumbled forward and fell on his knees beside the fish tank in the center of the atrium, plunging his whole arm into the water between the lily leaves. At the same time he began to cry, the wheezing sob of a small child who will howl louder when he has got his breath.
