Volume One by Walter Horatio Pater]@TWC D-Link book Volume One 17/42 "We, the elder children, are given like servants to be the wives of strangers, while the youngest is possessed of so great riches, who scarcely knows how to use them.

And it may be that this husband, being of divine nature, will make her too a goddess. It was even thus she bore herself. |
