Hypatia

CHAPTER III: THE GOTHS
12/18

'Who is going to be cross with any one, except I with you, for mishearing and misunderstanding, and meddling, as you are always doing?
I shall do as I threatened, and run away with Prince Wulf, if you are not good.

Don't you see that the whole crew are expecting you to make them an oration ?' Whereupon the Amal rose.
'See you here, Wulf the son of Ovida, and warriors all! If we want wealth, we shan't find it among the sand-hills.

If we want women, we shall find nothing prettier than these among dragons and devils.

Don't look angry, Wulf.

You have no mind to marry one of those dog-headed girls the monk talked of, have you?
Well, then, we have money and women; and if we want sport, it's better sport killing men than killing beasts; so we had better go where we shall find most of that game, which we certainly shall not up this road.
