One day, the garden gate flew open. Three burly soldiers ran in.
One of the soldiers looked at Lydia. " Where is Eumenes?".
Lydia's father grinned. " I am Eumenes".
" You are under arrest".
Lydia exclaimed in a loud voice. " For what crime?".
" Stealing".
" Impossible". She stamped a foot in frustration. " My father has never stolen anything in his life".
" Not according to a Roman citizen who brought a charge against him".
The soldiers began to lead him out of the garden.
" Father, I will go to Mistress Dione".
He stared at his daughter.
" She will get you released".
After they left, she went to find Jason's mother".
