TIBERIUS REGARDED HIS informant with beady-eyed interest.

“You are sure?”

“I am sure.”

“And you say it is the second time she has visited the Chief Vestal in as many days?”

The informant nodded vigorously.

“The high priestess took her into the archive room on both occasions and today I overheard them arguing over Hortensia’s wish to inspect the will of general Pompey.”

Tiberius whistled softly. “Well, well. It appears I have greatly underestimated my old friend Hortensius’s daughter.”

He tapped a finger to his lips for a few moments and then nodded a curt dismissal.

“Go back to the Temple and conduct yourself as normal. As long as the will remains where it is, unsealed, there is no real need for concern. A pity she saw the message from the dead girl – no no, no more self-recrimination from you. I blame myself for not checking she had been properly finished off. But if Hortensius’s daughter could prove anything, we would know about it by now. However you will send me word immediately if she pursues her enquiry further.”
