You have a special errand here? I had quite forgotten to ask you——
Agathon.
A strange errand; so strange that I am lost in doubt and disquietude. There is so much I should like to know first—about life in the city—about yourself—and the Emperor——
Julian.
[Looks hard at him.] Tell me the truth, Agathon—with whom have you spoken before meeting me?
Agathon.
With no one.
Julian.
When did you arrive?
Agathon.
