I rather wished I hadn\u2019t said that. It was ill-advised. \u2018They\u2019re such an ill-assorted pair,\u2019 I added hastily. The woman was looking self-important now. \u2018In that case, citizen, we\u2019ll willingly keep guard. Don\u2019t argue, husband. Forgive him, citizen. We\u2019ve been struggling now for moons. Generally, we move from town to town, and he sells and sharpens knives.<\/p>\n

Makes us a good living, on the whole. But we were in Glevum when contagion struck, and since then we have been welcome nowhere else. We\u2019ve had to trade our stock for food, and there\u2019s no money to replace it with. Then we heard the plague was waning, and were going to try again, though it\u2019s not easy with a single ox.<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re forced to eat that, we shall have to sell the cart, which means we lose our home. We\u2019ve got so desperate we\u2019re thinking that one of the children might make a slave, perhaps \u2013 and we could use the price to feed the rest of us.\u2019 She broke off suddenly. \u2018I\u2019m sorry, citizen. You don\u2019t want to hear all this \u2026\u2019 \u2018On the contrary,\u2019 I said.<\/p>\n

\u2018You confirm my view of you. I believe you can be trusted, and I will leave you here. But whatever you have hidden in those baskets, gentlemen, you will replace them now.\u2019 The husband nodded sullenly. \u2018I suppose we have no choice. I knew there\u2019d be trouble, wife. I told you so \u2026\u2019 He was still muttering as I walked back to the gig. OceanofPDF.com Marcus was waiting, looking rather sour.<\/p>\n

\u2018What took you such a time?\u2019 He gestured me to join him on the seat again. The page scrambled down to help me, but I stood my ground. \u2018Excellence, I was persuading them to testify for you,\u2019 I replied. \u2018I think you need to speak to them yourself.\u2019 \u2018What for? They have agreed, I hope! Even if they\u2019re travellers, not from this area, they must realise I\u2019m a man of rank.\u2019 \u2018Of course.<\/p>\n

Though they needed persuasion. They\u2019re wary of dealing with the authorities. But not only have they agreed to speak for you, they\u2019ve promised to guard the bodies until someone comes for them. For a small consideration, naturally.\u2019 I saw his disapproving look. \u2018You wouldn\u2019t wish to have it said that Appius Limpnus was slung into the plague-pit when you might have prevented it.\u2019 \u2018There\u2019ll have to be a proper funeral for him,\u2019 Marcus fretted. \u2018At the curia\u2019s expense. He has no living relatives, as far as I\u2019m aware, but \u2013 given who he is, or was \u2013 it can\u2019t be left to household slaves, or to a funeral guild, supposing he belonged to one.\u2019<\/p>\n
