Chapter X
THE VEILS OF ISHTAR. Domitia did not go into the house, as desired, to receive Lamia. She was well aware that he would come to her into the garden, if she did not present herself within, and she preferred to speak with him away from her mother. She therefore continued to walk under the vines. She looked up at the sunlight filtering through the broad green flaky shade, with here and there a ray kissing a purple, pendent bunch of grapes.
