But Ursus will save her.

He will come; he will bear her out of the litter as he bore her out of the triclinium, and they will go into the world.

No one could resist Ursus, not even that terrible athlete who wrestled at the feast yesterday.

But as Vinicius might send a great number of slaves, Ursus would go at once to Bishop Linus for aid and counsel.

The bishop will take compassion on her, will not leave her in the hands of Vinicius; he will command Christians to go with Ursus to rescue her.
