The Man Who Laughs Ursus took the piece of gold between his forefinger and thumb respectfully, and, showing it to Master Nicless, said,— "She is a goddess." The Man Who Laughs He had not the least doubt that that laborer was Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus had kept the two children with him; the blind girl he called Dea. The World's Greatest Books — Volume 05 — Fiction Ursus remained some moments in an ecstasy, holding the gold piece between his finger and thumb, as in a monstrance, elevating it as the priest elevates the host. The Man Who Laughs The theologian, Minos, having returned to consciousness, questioned Ursus anew. The Man Who Laughs Ursus stooped down, and placed his hand on Homo's head. The Man Who Laughs When he inquired of Euricius touching men of exceptional strength, there was nothing remarkable in this, that they pointed out Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero On his part Ursus, too, was thrown into the most painful agitation, but he saw through matters pretty distinctly. The Man Who Laughs He remembered Ursus's words, and there was no question possible. The Man Who Laughs Ursus thanked him with his most cringing smile. The Man Who Laughs Before he went out to follow Gwynplaine, Ursus took a precaution. The Man Who Laughs If Ursus will not kill Glaucus for such a great crime as the betrayal of all Christians, so much the more will he not kill thee for the small offence of betraying one Christian. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero "That shall be for my Father Ursus," he said. The Man Who Laughs Ursus rushed at the wig, ruffled it, put it on, advanced softly, and holding his breath, his head bristled thus under the hand of Dea. The Man Who Laughs "Very reverend sir," said Ursus, "so little did I desire to insult the basilisk that I have given out as certain that it has a man's head." The Man Who Laughs Ursus, driven out of his last resource, pondered. The Man Who Laughs In the door appeared Ursus, with the body of Croton hanging on his arm, and looking around once more, he began to run, bearing it along the empty street toward the river. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus saw Master Nicless in the yard, with a candle in his hand, beckoning to him. The Man Who Laughs Master Nicless had not assisted at the end of the phantom comedy played by Ursus. The Man Who Laughs The tavern-keeper, who was puzzled as well, questioned Ursus one day. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, absorbed by his hundred-voiced monologue, had not observed his absence. The Man Who Laughs "Thou sayest that thou art a Christian, and knowest not that among us it is the custom after every meal to glorify our Saviour with singing," answered Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero "Well, Master Ursus, he makes you a proposal." The Man Who Laughs A quarter of an hour afterwards, Ursus, out of breath, reached the little street in which stood the back wicket of the Southwark jail, which he had already watched so many hours. The Man Who Laughs At that moment the wolf gave a low growl; but Ursus silenced him, and whispered, "He is coming back." The Man Who Laughs Therefore it was that Ursus returned to the alley in which the lower entrance to the prison was situated. The Man Who Laughs Chilo at these words thought to himself that his work had gone for nothing, that never in the world would Ursus dare to kill Glaucus, either that night or any other night. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus had reached the corner which he had found so convenient for his watch, and whence he had been able, during a great part of the day, to keep his eye on the prison. The Man Who Laughs Ursus counted, vaguely and without motive, the tolling of the knell. The Man Who Laughs Gwynplaine, who had never had a glimpse of penal severities, save in the exaggerations of Ursus, felt as though seized by a sort of vague gigantic hand. The Man Who Laughs Ursus felt his attention fascinated by two objects. The Man Who Laughs In every case, at the mere recollection of Ursus, a shiver ran through Chilo's whole body. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus recognized the faces of the police who had that morning carried off Gwynplaine. The Man Who Laughs On leaving the prison, the procession turned their backs on Ursus, went to the right, into the bend of the street opposite to that in which he was posted. The Man Who Laughs Gwynplaine remembered what Ursus had told him of the necessity for silence. The Man Who Laughs Ursus was now about to see what they were bringing with them. The Man Who Laughs And he was benumbed! for he saw before the door of the sleeping-room the gigantic form of Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero He wept for Gwynplaine, for Dea, for himself, Ursus, for Homo. The Man Who Laughs The corpse they had just buried was Hardquanonne's; but Ursus could not know that. The Man Who Laughs Ursus burst into a second fit of laughter. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, indeed, had just come in sight, round a turn of the wall. The Man Who Laughs "Thou hast had more than one of the brotherhood in thy care," added Crispus, "and hast the repute of a skilful physician; therefore I sent Ursus to bring thee." Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus, wan and indistinct, walked slowly, like a man in a dream. The Man Who Laughs "Master Ursus," cried the innkeeper, "come; their honours desire to speak to you." The Man Who Laughs A moment after, Ursus entered the Green Box. The Man Who Laughs Ursus started like a man falling off a bed, on which he was sound asleep. The Man Who Laughs "That was an evil spirit, but I took him for an angel," said Ursus, with a sigh. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero The justice of the quorum fixed his eye, full of the law, upon Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus answered,— "You see—" And he was silent. The Man Who Laughs Meanwhile the ineffable blind look of Dea's eyes met those of Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus hazarded an excuse,— "He is my servant." The Man Who Laughs To find any one in Rome was not easy, even with the most accurate directions; but in those cases the instinct of a hunter aided Ursus, and also his great knowledge of the city. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus thought, "More murder!" but he breathed not a syllable, and was satisfied with trembling in every limb. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, whom he wanted to get rid of, was being driven away by the police, a superior authority. The Man Who Laughs The two women looked at Ursus in stupefaction. The Man Who Laughs He interrupted,— "Your honour, that man—" He pointed to Ursus with his finger. The Man Who Laughs "He has not," answered Ursus; "we shall go on foot." Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero The justice of the quorum made a movement of his shoulder towards Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus shuddered, as if he were grasped by a hand of ice. The Man Who Laughs Ursus shouted,— "Do you not hear the audience coming in?—Fibi, dress Dea.—Vinos, take your tambourine." The Man Who Laughs "Master Ursus, you can sell the Green Box." The Man Who Laughs He put on a new mantle then, and let down a broad Gallic hood, lest Ursus might recognize his features on coming into clearer light. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero "An offer for the caravan, an offer for the two horses, an offer for the two gipsy women, an offer—" "From whom?" repeated Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, during his long meditation all night, had not failed to put himself some questions. The Man Who Laughs Their master, Ursus, had always been to them an enigma. The Man Who Laughs Ursus felt a cold sensation, such as is produced by a reptile crawling over the skin. The Man Who Laughs Here he remembered that he had represented himself to Ursus on the way as a Christian, and stopped. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero And he indulged, standing behind Ursus, in rubbing his hands, a peculiarity of the selfish, signifying, "I am well out of it," and suggestive of Pontius Pilate washing his hands. The Man Who Laughs And Barkilphedro placed a little purse on a table before Ursus. The Man Who Laughs It was the voice of Gwynplaine, but in the mouth of Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Two arrests, one after the other, made in his house—first that of Gwynplaine, then that of Ursus—might be injurious to the inn. The Man Who Laughs They would set aside defenders, or rather Ursus, quickly, and would reach the street just as quickly with the captured Lygia; and there they would help themselves. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero That pinnacle, under the glory of which he had, all his life, seen his master, Ursus, bow himself down in fear—that prodigious pinnacle was under his feet. The Man Who Laughs To reach the Green Box again, and the Tadcaster Inn, with its sounds and light—full of the cordial laughter of the people; to find Ursus and Homo, to see Dea again, to re-enter life. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, by a sign which he made through the door ajar, forbade the expression of any astonishment. The Man Who Laughs Ursus replied, in trembling tones,— "I tell you that we are going to Holland, to Rotterdam, which is a city." The Man Who Laughs Here it occurred to him that he might go in the night to the baker Demas and inquire about Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero When Ursus returned to consciousness, he found that Gwynplaine was no longer with him, and he saw Homo by the edge of the deck baying in the shadow and looking down upon the water. The Man Who Laughs Fortunately Ursus had never gone into the Low Countries; there they would certainly have weighed him, to ascertain whether he was of the normal weight, above or below which a man is a sorcerer. The Man Who Laughs Ursus whispered in his ear,— "Boy, go into the yard; jump, dance, knock, bawl, whistle, coo, neigh, applaud, stamp your feet, burst out laughing, break something." The Man Who Laughs If Ursus spoke Latin, it was because he knew it. The Man Who Laughs He preferred to have nothing to do with Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus went on muttering angry words between his teeth. The Man Who Laughs The little boy now and then lifted towards Ursus his eyes moist with the unspeakable emotion which the poor little being felt, but was unable to express. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, taking the precaution of putting his voice between parentheses fashioned by adjusting the palms of his hands to his mouth, cried out to him,— "Sir! do as your boy is doing—yelp, bark, howl." The Man Who Laughs Ursus had placed a star of paper over the fracture, which had become unpasted. The Man Who Laughs But Ursus, as if impatient of delay, approached the door of the sleeping-room, and, bending, thrust in his head. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero "She is drunk," said Ursus; and he continued, "After this, preach sermons on temperance!" The Man Who Laughs Ursus examined the phial, and grumbled,— "She has drunk it all up, the impudent creature!" The Man Who Laughs A whirlwind of clamour proceeded from Ursus: he sang, he shouted, he talked, he coughed, he spat, he sneezed, took snuff, talked and responded, put questions and gave answers, all at once. The Man Who Laughs Ursus seized the pitcher again, and conveyed it to his mouth. The Man Who Laughs Two he recognized: one was Ursus, the other the old man whom he had thrust aside when carrying off Lygia. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus said to them,—"Old brutes, adore each other!" The Man Who Laughs Ursus had been, in his relations with Gwynplaine and Dea, almost a father and a mother. The Man Who Laughs Ursus clapped his hands, stamped his feet, threw his voice to the end of the court, and then made it come from underground. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, seeing that Gwynplaine was becoming a man, had cast the horoscope of his deformity. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, with his anxious and also threatening face of a barbarian, held a bundle of white cloth torn in long strips. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Absorbed in each other, they rarely heeded such exclamations of Ursus. The Man Who Laughs This time, however, the precaution of Ursus, "Dea is also ugly," indicated in this learned man a certain knowledge of women. The Man Who Laughs That which Proteus did to sight Ursus did to hearing. The Man Who Laughs This was the old establishment of Ursus, its proportions augmented by success, and improved from a wretched booth into a theatre. The Man Who Laughs Ursus drew his head out of the chimney, and, smiling in a manner almost friendly, said,—"God give thee a good day, lord, and good health; but I am a free man, not a slave." Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero "What a good turn they did you there, my boy!" said Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus and Gwynplaine wore men's jackets, and, like sailors on board a man-of-war, great loose trousers. The Man Who Laughs Master Nicless, the only spectator, quietly made himself the same explanation as they did—that Ursus was gone mad; which was, for that matter, but another sad item added to his misery. The Man Who Laughs This hut, in a corner at the back, to the right of the door, served as bedchamber and dressing-room to Ursus and Gwynplaine. The Man Who Laughs At the first glance the young tribune recognized Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus was the poet of these magical representations; he wrote the pieces. The Man Who Laughs What matters? thought Ursus, to whom the heart of Dea was visible. The Man Who Laughs Govicum, delighted at being able to help in making a noise, exerted himself almost as much as Ursus. The Man Who Laughs The sensation of gaiety due to the sudden shock caused by the rictus of Gwynplaine was evidently not intended by Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus did not notice the two men, as they were in the shadow of the entrance, and he began quietly to sink in water vegetables which filled the sieve. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus, ever delighting in comparisons, profited by the diversity of its uses to liken the central compartment in the Green Box to the arradach in an Abyssinian hut. The Man Who Laughs The yard of the Tadcaster Inn had taken the fancy of Ursus. The Man Who Laughs We will shorten the entertainment; as only 'Chaos Vanquished' was announced in the playbill, we will not play 'Ursus Rursus.' The Man Who Laughs Having found Ursus fit for himself, he had found Homo fit for the beast. The Man Who Laughs Ursus wished to return with her to their own country, but the road was unsafe because of wild beasts and wild tribes. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus lived in a small van upon wheels, which Homo was civilized enough to draw by day and guard by night. The Man Who Laughs When the cart drew up on a fair green, when the gossips ran up open-mouthed and the curious made a circle round the pair, Ursus harangued and Homo approved. The Man Who Laughs Here Ursus addressed himself with a shrill and feeble voice,— "Down with that old fool!" The Man Who Laughs As a doctor, Ursus wrought cures by some means or other. The Man Who Laughs "The gods are evil spirits," replied Ursus, with simplicity, "and where there are no Romans, there is no supremacy." Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero As a beast of burden, Ursus preferred Homo to a donkey. The Man Who Laughs As a friend, Ursus preferred Homo to a dog, considering that the love of a wolf is more rare. The Man Who Laughs Ursus made a pause, in which he placed a gnashing of his teeth. The Man Who Laughs Hence it was that Homo sufficed for Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus took the brass basin from Lygia's hands; she brought a cup of water and wine which stood ready on the table, and put it to the wounded man's lips. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus used to pat the wolf's empty ribs, saying: "I have found the second volume of myself!" The Man Who Laughs To be always raging inwardly and grumbling outwardly was the normal condition of Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus took down his instrument, executed his prelude, and said in a low tone: "Alas, Gwynplaine, how mysterious it is!" then he flung himself down with the wolf. The Man Who Laughs Ursus lived with Ursus, a tête-à-tête, into which the wolf gently thrust his nose. The Man Who Laughs In the garden, when darkness surrounded him, fear raised the hair on his head again, for he felt sure that Ursus would rush out and kill him in the night. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero If Ursus could have had his way, he would have been a Caribbee; that being impossible, he preferred to be alone. The Man Who Laughs The arched brow of Ursus knitted and took that pointed shape which characterizes emotion on the brow of a philosopher. The Man Who Laughs My house is a palace, and I give it to Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus opened the window at the back and examined the view. The Man Who Laughs Next Ursus told how he had conducted Chilo to the street, and had asked forgiveness for the harm which he might have done his bones; for this the Apostle blessed him also. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero From without, a voice, the voice of Ursus, said,— "You, boy, who have just eaten up my supper, are you already asleep?" The Man Who Laughs Whilst Ursus was speaking, Homo sidled up close to the stove. The Man Who Laughs The inscriptions of Ursus, gloryifying the grandeur of Lords, showed distinctly on the worn-out boards, which were both the wall without and the wainscot within. The Man Who Laughs Ursus addressed him abruptly,— "What are you laughing about?" The Man Who Laughs Standing before the gate, they could look at all who passed; Ursus it was easy to recognize by his form and size. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero The interior of the caravan, on the previous night, had been so dark that Ursus had not yet seen the boy's face. The Man Who Laughs The child, in fact, was entering the house of Homo and Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Gwynplaine held his breath, so as not to lose a word of what Ursus said, and this was what he heard. The Man Who Laughs Ursus rolled the bear-skin over the two children, and tucked it under their feet. The Man Who Laughs In that hour he had not a complaint against Ursus, even. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus, holding the lantern in his hand, descended. The Man Who Laughs It was Homo, following Ursus, who had also returned to his home. The Man Who Laughs "My child," said Ursus in a voice of anguish, "what do you mean by that?" The Man Who Laughs Ursus had just hung the lantern up on a nail in the ceiling. The Man Who Laughs But Ursus ran past the corner quickly, and disappeared beyond the neighboring house. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero They lay on the chest, Ursus on the floor; that was the arrangement. The Man Who Laughs Ursus tolerated, although not without an expression of impatience, this alteration in his text. The Man Who Laughs "There, there, do not agitate yourself," said Ursus. The Man Who Laughs "Hum!" cried Ursus, and he turned away, his scolding melting into a smile. The Man Who Laughs "Ursus, who on the road confessed that yesterday he was ready to kill me!" Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero So much so, that, one day, Ursus, being ambitious, said,— "We must go to London." The Man Who Laughs "Nay," replied Ursus, with sadness, "I only said that in a thousand years ice had time to melt, and that a thousand ages were difficult to count." The Man Who Laughs Ursus muttered gloomily: "I do not believe in ghosts." The Man Who Laughs The three pairs of eyebrows which were so horribly fixed on Ursus contracted. The Man Who Laughs "If I find him, I will bring him, willing or unwilling," said Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero He recalled all that Ursus had said of high stations which are almost royal. The Man Who Laughs Its nature would have been clear to Ursus; but to Gwynplaine it was not. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, whose back only was visible to Gwynplaine, raised his arms in terror. The Man Who Laughs Ursus looked on this love as a doctor examines his case. The Man Who Laughs Chilo, noticing that Ursus looked at him as a perfect stranger, recovered from his first fear. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero One day, while she was lying asleep on the bearskin, Gwynplaine was out, and Ursus bent down softly and applied his ear to Dea's heart. The Man Who Laughs Day broke at last; he heard Ursus get up, but did not raise his eyelids. The Man Who Laughs Come, my child," said Ursus, "do as I bid you. The Man Who Laughs A few minutes afterwards they were sitting opposite each other, Ursus between them, Homo at their feet. The Man Who Laughs From dread it seemed to him that Ursus was beginning to look at him with a kind of greedy expression. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus, relieved of some portion of his terror now that the wapentake's back was turned, seized the moment to whisper in Gwynplaine's ear,— "On your life, do not speak until you are questioned." The Man Who Laughs Ursus assured himself that the question would be decided at once. The Man Who Laughs Gwynplaine, rising by the side of Ursus, who had suddenly become as though petrified, knelt down before her. The Man Who Laughs When the wapentake, leading the file of soldiers between whom Gwynplaine walked, arrived at the small streets, Ursus watched them breathlessly. The Man Who Laughs His bones were shaking in the terrible hands of Ursus; his eyes were filled with tears from pain. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus, staggering with terror, leant against a wall that he might not fall. The Man Who Laughs Homo was for Ursus more than a companion, he was an analogue. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, stupefied, delighted, smiling, drowned in tears, looked at them, and addressed an aside to himself. The Man Who Laughs At least, to bite was the intent of Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, letting go the arms of the Greek, added at once: "May the Saviour be merciful to thee as I forgive thee." Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero To be a doctor is little: Ursus was a ventriloquist. The Man Who Laughs Ursus was sagacious, contradictory, odd, and inclined to the singular expositions which we term fables. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, as if stricken by a planet full in his breast, drew back, and looked at Gwynplaine attentively. The Man Who Laughs Ursus possessed a retort and a flask; he effected transmutations; he sold panaceas. The Man Who Laughs He would have run with all his might, but his legs would not move; next moment they were perfectly uncontrollable, for Ursus stood near him really. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero To sum up, Ursus was not one of those persons who live in fear of the police. The Man Who Laughs The stove had two compartments; in one of them Ursus cooked his chemicals, and in the other his potatoes. The Man Who Laughs Ursus looked at him again, and struck his forehead with the tip of his forefinger. The Man Who Laughs An old man is a thinking ruin; and such a ruin was Ursus. The Man Who Laughs Meanwhile Ursus, holding the girl in his arms, moved around the arena, and with his eyes and with motions begged her life for her. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Before he knew Ursus and had a carriage to draw, he thought nothing of doing his fifty miles a night. The Man Who Laughs It is probable that in secret Ursus criticized Providence a good deal. The Man Who Laughs And Ursus murmured,— "Mine is the joy of a grandfather." The Man Who Laughs Ursus had kept the two children with him. The Man Who Laughs Vinicius and Ursus walked at her side, hurrying so as to give her into the hands of the Greek physician as quickly as possible. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus, with his mania for Latin names, had christened her Dea. The Man Who Laughs As to Gwynplaine, Ursus had not had the trouble of inventing a name for him. The Man Who Laughs Ursus took her wrist, and counted the pulsation of the artery. The Man Who Laughs He said to Ursus, "I will also sleep on the floor." The Man Who Laughs He remembered also that while he and Ursus were carrying her from the spoliarium an unknown physician had assured him that she was living and would recover. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero From that time he always slept by the side of Ursus on the planks. The Man Who Laughs Gwynplaine, sometimes madly in love with Dea, became melancholy, and made use of the presence of Ursus as a guard on himself. The Man Who Laughs Ursus placed his ear against Dea's left side. The Man Who Laughs We may observe, however, that after the first few years, when Gwynplaine was nearly grown up, and Ursus had grown quite old, Gwynplaine had taken his turn, and drawn Ursus. The Man Who Laughs He uttered not a word, therefore; and Ursus, sitting near his bed, took out the liquid with a small cup, and put it to his mouth. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus had cultivated in him feats of dexterity, and had encrusted him as much as possible with all he himself possessed of science and wisdom. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, contemplating the perplexing mask of Gwynplaine's face, often growled,— "He has begun well." The Man Who Laughs There then rose to her lips a red froth, which Ursus wiped away with the fold of her robe, before Gwynplaine, who was prostrate at her feet, could see it. The Man Who Laughs They knew only what Ursus had told them of it. The Man Who Laughs "Till the twentieth winter passed over me, I was afraid," answered Ursus; "but after that it happened." Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero At bottom, this chimerical and virginal content, this innocent union of souls, this celibacy taken for marriage, was not displeasing to Ursus. The Man Who Laughs One of these pieces, which has not come down to us, was entitled "Ursus Rursus." The Man Who Laughs I love my father, Ursus, and my brother, Homo, very dearly. The Man Who Laughs The wolf acted the wolf; Ursus, the bear; Gwynplaine, the man. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, stooping before the chimney, was raking apart the gray ashes, and seeking live coals beneath them. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus thought a good deal of his work, which he had brooded over for a long time. The Man Who Laughs His pugilistic marks of friendship brought him still more under the notice and regard of Ursus and Gwynplaine. The Man Who Laughs The fact is, Ursus was a bit of a savant, a man of taste, and an old Latin poet. The Man Who Laughs They described Gwynplaine as a sorcerer, and Ursus as an atheist. The Man Who Laughs After a time he conceived a liking for Ursus, with whom he conversed entire days; for with him he could talk about Lygia. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus had no desire for contact with sheriffs, provosts, bailiffs, and coroners. The Man Who Laughs So long as the sheriff of the county of Surrey, to the jurisdiction of which Southwark belongs, did not move in the matter, Ursus breathed freely, and Homo could sleep on his wolf's ears. The Man Who Laughs Ursus at a pinch composed comedies, which, in recital, he all but acted; this helped to sell the drugs. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, we know, lacked apathy, and, like a roebuck on the watch, kept a lookout in every direction. The Man Who Laughs Ursus was glad to converse, but could not add much that was new to what in his time Aulus Plautius had told. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Ursus was perhaps unreasonably alarmed about the indiscreet remark, and the consequences likely to result from the unconsidered words of Gwynplaine. The Man Who Laughs Ursus chained up Homo under the Green Box; Gwynplaine looked after the horses, the lover becoming a groom, like a hero of Homer's or a paladin of Charlemagne's. The Man Who Laughs There was something fatuous, doubtless, in this certificate which Ursus gave to Ursus; but let those who have not thoroughly sifted chromatics, osmosy, and chymosy cast the first stone at him. The Man Who Laughs Ursus had been tempted by the bowling-green, which had one great recommendation, that it was always fair-day there, even in winter. The Man Who Laughs Ursus sighed, and Chilo thought that he could always do what he liked with that man, who was terrible at the moment of his first outburst. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero The low and requisite whispering of the trio was of some minutes' duration, during which time Ursus felt all the ice and all the scorch of agony. The Man Who Laughs Ursus felt something like Jonas when he was leaving the belly of the whale. The Man Who Laughs Ursus would certainly have had a crow to pluck with those scales. The Man Who Laughs We do not represent Ursus as a refined man. The Man Who Laughs "As it is, I have not killed purposely," answered Ursus. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero She listened, perhaps, and was sufficiently enlightened by the sighs of Ursus, and now and then by some significant exclamation, such as,— "One does not get ounces of gold every day!" The Man Who Laughs Ursus, perceiving that Tom-Jim-Jack did not return, was troubled by his absence. The Man Who Laughs Homo's hair was black, that of Ursus, gray; Ursus was fifty, unless, indeed, he was sixty. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, who had had experience, knew the smart caused by rash curiosity. The Man Who Laughs But Chilo, who desired to secure himself in every case, did not cease to condemn murder, and urge Ursus to make the vow. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero It appeared so extraordinary that the sailor should sit by the lady that it made Ursus circumspect. The Man Who Laughs Still Ursus was too much of an artist not to regret Tom-Jim-Jack. The Man Who Laughs He had the loquacity of a charlatan, the leanness of a prophet, the irascibility of a charged mine: such was Ursus. The Man Who Laughs This pouring out of his heart to a friend relieved Ursus. The Man Who Laughs But Ursus proved to be a nurse as awkward as painstaking; the cup was lost among his herculean fingers so completely that there was no place left for the mouth of the sick man. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero And Ursus said aside, "By heaven, they are polite!" The Man Who Laughs While Ursus, addressing Homo, was looking down, Gwynplaine had raised his eyes. The Man Who Laughs All the same, if bad-tempered officials had to be dealt with, difficulties might have arisen; so Ursus kept the honest wolf chained up as much as possible. The Man Who Laughs Ursus, who had heard some one enter and raised his head without loosing his hold of Homo, recognized the terrible personage. The Man Who Laughs And after Ursus had gone, he breathed with a full breast. Quo Vadis: a narrative of the time of Nero Gwynplaine being taken, Ursus was placed between two terrors—a fear for Gwynplaine, which instigated him to follow; and a fear for himself, which urged him to remain where he was. The Man Who Laughs Ursus had the intrepidity of a fly and the impassibility of a sensitive plant. The Man Who Laughs Ursus felt a kind of shock, looked at him fixedly for a few minutes, and said,— "Then you are frightful." The Man Who Laughs But as Vinicius might send a great number of slaves, Ursus would go at once to Bishop Linus for aid and counsel.
