Gregorius Pedro: No scandal, brother?
Lucullus Severus: Look how unusual it is. People will talk. You heard what that man said. They will all talk.
Gregorius Pedro (sadly): Ah, well.
Lucullus Severus: How could we face it.
Gregorius Pedro: It is, yes, yes,—it is unusual.
Lucullus Severus: Nothing like it has happened for many centuries.
Gregorius Pedro (sadly): No, no. I suppose not. Poor Antoninus.
Lucullus Severus: Why could he not have waited?
Gregorius Pedro: Waited? What? Three—three hundred years?
Lucullus Severus: Or even five or ten. He is long past sixty.
