The Dance

              Dancing to the pipes

Carintha has been my property for the last seventeen years, now she becomes the property of Diomedes ... 50 years old if he is a day!

The dowery is arranged. Carintha will want for nothing in her marriage. Diomedes drove a hard bargain, especially over the house. But all is ready for the marriage.

Tonight I meet Alcibiades for the ceremony ... I will make the promises for Carintha and Alcibiades will make them for Diomedes. I must remember to tell Carintha in the morning that she is married.

Then there will be all the fuss ... Appala wants a traditional party ... I suppose I'd better agree. Torches and dances and all that sort of thing.
