"For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light."--ST. LUKE XVI. 8.
Caius Nepos was the spokesman of the party. His high rank and great influence with the guard under his command gave him certain privileges which his friends were always willing to give him. They did not know of his treachery to them; nothing, indeed, had occurred to make them guess that the man who, in a sense, had been the leader and organiser of their party, had betrayed them all to the Cesar in the hopes of greater gains, once he knew that his adherents had no thought of offering him the imperium.
