After I had left the trunk, which I had done late after being brought into the palace, this ruse having accomplished my entry into these precincts, I had donned the uniform seemingly of an officer of Brundisium. |

Beneath the merchants' robes I wore that uniform seemingly of an officer of Brundisium. |

Too, it might make me seem a more efficient officer. |

The officer beside me stood up. |

"What is that?" I asked the officer, pointing to a dark aperture at one side of the room. |

"The search is complete," said a guardsman, reporting to the officer. |

"Lift your head and throw your hair behind your back, girl," said the officer, newly arrived, come up from the side, with a backing board and sheaf of papers. |

The officer then, there being no impediments now to his vision, checked the number on her left breast. |
10 |

"Ah, yes," said the officer. |
10 |
| 13 | 233 |
The officer, for example, already had had her number on his list, probably with her name. |
10 |
| 13 | 235 |
I had gathered, for example, from what the officer had said, that the girl's mother, number 261 on the list, was somewhere in this very chain, which would have been unlikely if its prisoners were being added to it in a strict numerical sequence. |
10 |

The officer looked down at the girl. |

"Do you expect to find all the women on your seizure lists?" I asked the officer. |

Mincon spoke to the officer at the table, who, it seemed, recognized him. |

"Doubtless we will get the letters from that fellow," I said, indicating the officer to whom Mincon was speaking. |
10 |

Mincon, however, to my surprise, went through the door behind the officer. |

"Would you care to hear two poems?" Hurtha asked the officer at the table. |
10 |

"You are no simple officer," I said, "from whom may be obtained letters of safety". |
10 |

If anything, he seemed on the surface little more than a simple soldier, perhaps no more than merely another unpretentious, candid, efficient officer. |

"Do you know the name of the high officer of the Cosian forces in the south?" he asked. |

Apparently this officer, in this sort of situation, did require his women, whether free or slave, to request such permission. |
10 |

"Perhaps," said the officer, moodily. |
10 |

"My weapons, and goods," I asked, "and those of my party?" "Give the receipts, yours and those of your friends, to the officer outside," he said. |

The officer, at any rate, seemed not, as yet, at least, to have received replies to such missives. |

I wondered why the officer had not, as yet, received any replies to his messages. |
