There was a sudden stir behind the screens which enclosed the sculptor and the work in progress. Pollux had been working for a long time with zeal and pleasure, but at last the steward's snoring had begun to disturb him.

The leisure of mind and body required to write it was given me through a long but not disabling illness.
