I have had a watch kept over the Drusus estate.

An old sentry of a steward, Mamercus,--so I learn,--has been afraid, evidently, of some foul play on the part of the consul-designate, and has stationed a few armed freedmen on guard.

Drusus himself keeps very carefully on his own premises.

This is all the better for us.

Dumnorix will dispose of the freedmen in a hurry, and our man will be in waiting there just for the gladiators.
