'HO, Diomed, well met! Do you sup with Glaucus to-night?' said a young man of small stature, who wore his tunic in those loose and effeminate folds which proved him to be a gentleman and a coxcomb. 'Alas, no! dear Clodius; he has not invited me, ' replied Diomed, a man of portly frame and of middle age. 'By Pollux, a scurvy trick! for they say his suppers are the best in Pompeii'. 'Pretty well-though there is never enough of wine for me. It is not the old Greek blood that flows in his veins, for he pretends that wine makes ...

The book is very big, but not very thick. The lines are too long to make possible flowing easily from the end of one line to the correct start of the following line. I did not buy this book expecting any other than the florid style of Lytton's era. I was not disappointed in that. I don't hold his style against him. Readers who dislike this sort of writing had best avoid the book. What causes me concern is that I may not have the entire book. I shall eventually finish the book and may have a better idea by then.
