This man from Karioth is a young man.' 'Really? Can you describe him? Is he a fanatic? ' 'Oh no, Procurator.' 'I see.
What else do you know about him? ' 'He is very good-looking.' 'What else? Has he perhaps a special passion? ' 'It is hard to know so much with certainty in this huge city, Procurator.' 'Come now, Arthanius! You underestimate yourself.' 'He has one passion.
Procurator.' The visitor made a tiny pause.
He has a passion for money.' 'What is his occupation? ' Arthanius looked up, reflected and answered : 'He works for one of his relatives who has a money-changer's booth.' 'I see, I see.' The Procurator was silent, looked round to make sure that there was no one on the balcony and then said in a low voice : ' The fact is--I have received information that he is to be murdered tonight.' At this the visitor not only turned his glance on the Procurator but held it for a while and then replied : 'You have nattered me.
Procurator, but I fear I have not earned your commendation.
I have no such information.' 'You deserve the highest possible praise,' replied the Procurator, ' but there is no doubting this information.' 'May I ask its source? ' 'You must allow me not to divulge that for the present, particularly as it is casual, vague and unreliable.
But it is my duty to allow for every eventuality.
I place great reliance on my instinct in these matters, because it has never failed me yet.
