I shall not harm you.

The tale of your infamy is known to but four persons, and none others will ever know it.

I am proud of the honour of the nobles of Carthage, and would not that the scum of the people should bandy the name of your families on their lips as guilty of so foul an act of treason.

You will, of course, at once resign your positions in the Carthaginian horse.

Make what pretext you will--illness or private affairs.
