Antony And Cleopatra
“Antony said, looking displeased, feeling overjoyed.
“That was your scheme to get rid of me while ever you thought the Egyptian harpy was going to campaign with you. No Roman man could stomach that, Antonius, and I’m surprised you thought you could—unless you’ve given up being a Roman man.”
“No, I haven’t!” Antony said irritably. “Ahenobarbus, you have to understand that Cleopatra’s willingness to lend me huge amounts of gold is all that got this expedition going! She seemed to think that the lo...an entitled her to participate in the endeavor, but by the time we got this far, she was happy to go home.”
“And I was happy to abandon my journey to Nicomedia. So, my friend, enlighten me as to recent events.”
Antonius looks very well, Ahenobarbus thought, better than I have seen him look since Philippi. He has something to do worthy of his steel, and it’s the fulfillment of a dream besides. Much as I loathe the Egyptian harpy, I’m grateful to her for the loan of her gold.MoreLess
