Ben…Hur arose excitedly。
〃It is a great idea;〃 he said。 〃I will not wait to begin it。 Time forbids waiting。 The ship that brought the news of the suffering of our brethren shall take me to Rome。 I will sail to…morrow。〃
He turned to Malluch。
〃Get the ship ready; Malluch; and be thou ready to go with me。
〃It is well;〃 said Simonides。
〃And thou; Esther; what sayest thou?〃 asked Ben…Hur。
Esther came to his side; and put her hand on his arm; and answered;
〃So wilt thou best serve the Christ。 O my husband; let me not hinder; but go with thee and help。〃

If any of my readers; visiting Rome; will make the short journey to the Catacomb of San Calixto; which is more ancient than that of San Sebastiano; he will see what became of the fortune of Ben…Hur; and give him thanks。 Out of that vast tomb Christianity issued to supersede the Caesars。
