Continued the abbot: "This manuscript has to do with a certain Denarius. He was the leader of some long-forgotten people. Who were they? No matter. The facts, however, stand."

His brother evinced additional interest.

"Denarius," narrated the churchman, "was brave and patriotic. He loved his people. One day an invading horde attacked the land and captured him. He was immediately slaughtered and his body thrown into a ditch. Every night the spirit of Denarius sat beside the body and mourned—not for himself but for his defenseless countrymen who were now slaves to the conquerors. At last the Creator (Who is all-powerful) returned the soul to the body and allowed Denarius to walk the earth again. He went to his people and freed them. What happened? They grew insolent, independent. Before he knew it, spies had so poisoned their minds that they attacked him in his castle. They set fire to it. As the spirit of Denarius beheld his murder-intent followers and his own human corpse burning to ashes, he wept: 'O deluded ones! You have destroyed my human skin. I can never return to you now and you will fall again a prey to the foe. Oh that I had a thousand lives so that I could protect you always!' This was sublime, of course, but did the rabble deserve such sublimity?"

"A leader's life is not his own," persisted the warrior.

The other refused to be sidetracked. "Answer me now, O my brother! Did the rabble deserve such sublimity!"

"No." This was said mournfully.
