“There is no possibility that any perceptible change will happen within our own lifetime. We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone.”

“As Bobby took his turn with a rock, Julian began the story where he left off. "The Macedonian commander looked around the hills where the Romans had his army cornered. There was no way to outflank them, nowhere to retreat."

"Did they surrender?" Bobby asked.

"Never," Julian said with conviction. "Death always before dishonor."

Julian paused as the words echoed in his mind. Those words had been engraved on his shield. As a commander, he had lived by them.

Julian gave a frustrated sigh, as if he were ready to shake both of them.

Grace threw her hands up. "Gee, I can't imagine why he wouldn't respond to that.”
