But Stephanus could not sleep, and when his friend approached him to give him some medicine, he said, "The wife of a Gaul has done me a kindness, and yet the wine would have pleased me better if it had not come from a Gaul." Paulus looked at him enquiringly, and though total darkness reigned in the cave, Stephanus felt his gaze and said, "I owe no man a grudge and I love my neighbor.

Great injuries have been done me, but I have for given--from the bottom of my heart forgiven.

Only one man lives to whom I wish evil, and he is a Gaul." "Forgive him too," said Paulus, "and do not let evil thoughts disturb your sleep." "I am not tired," said the sick man, "and if you had gone through such things as I have, it would trouble your rest at night too." "I know, I know," said Paulus soothingly.
