Thesun was yet far from setting when he reached Praeneste. Its great wallsand citadel towering on the height above told of ancient strength, andmany a noble building, within the city and without, monuments of gloryand luxury, resisted doom. Sulla's Temple of Fortune still looked downupon its columned terraces, but behind the portico was a Christianchurch, and where once abode the priests of the heathen sanctuary, theBishop of Praeneste had now his dwelling. Thither did Marcianstraightway betake... himself. The bishop, a friend and ally of Leander, received him with cordiality, and eagerly read the letter he brought. Asked whether Vigilius had left Rome, Marcian was able to tellsomething of the Pope's departure, having heard the story just beforehis own setting forth; whereat the prelate, a man of jovial aspect, laughed unrestrainedly. 'To supper! to supper!' he exclaimed with hospitable note. 'Time enoughfor our business afterwards. ' But Marcian could not postpone what he had to say. Begging the bishop'spatience, he told how all day long he had been followed by certainhorsemen from Rome, who assuredly were sent to track him.
