Explore "Domitia" by Sabine Baring-Gould on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"Now, for a while I am as one who has cast off a nightmare," said Domitia to herself. "He is away-why he has attended Titus to the Sabine land I know not, unless the Emperor could not trust him in Rome-or may be, in his goodness he has done it to relieve me of his presence. I will go see my mother."
Domitia ordered her litter and bearers. She had no trinkets to put on, save the fish of cornelian. Her mother liked to see her tricked out, and usually when Domitia paid her a visit she adorned herself to please the old lady,-now she could not assume jewelry as she had lost all her articles of precious stones and metal. So she hung the cornelian amulet about her neck.
