Gregorius Pedro: Yes, yes, it would have been better.
Lucullus Severus: You saw how ashamed he was.
Gregorius Pedro: Poor Antoninus. Yes, yes. Brother, I think if we had not been here he would have come and sat on this bench.
Lucullus Severus: I think he would. But he was ashamed to come, looking, looking like that.
Gregorius Pedro: Brother, let us go. It is the hour at which he loves to come and sit here, and read in the Little Book of Lesser Devices. Let us go so that he may come here and be alone.
Lucullus Severus: As you will, brother; we must help him when we can.
[They rise and go.
Gregorius Pedro: Poor Antoninus.
Lucullus Severus (glancing): I think he will come back now.
[Exeunt. The bare, sandaled foot of Antoninus appears as the last heel lifts in the other doorway.
