What do you say? Murdered?

Gregory.

I call it murdered;—they have executed him without law or judgment.

Julian.

Who? Who has executed him?

Gregory.

Yes, who? How can I say who? My mother tells the story thus: Clemazius’s mother-in-law was inflamed with an impure love for her daughter’s husband; but as she could not move him to wrong, she gained some back-stairs access to the palace——

Julian.

What palace?

Gregory.
