  23. Sesquipedalian Story Work on the aqueduct had ceased. The odious sun burned down on the somber workers, prostrate on the grass, and the typical vivacious alacrity of their countenances was replaced by a doleful determination to do no more.

  24. Sesquipedalian Story It wasn’t that they were indolent; rather, they were apprehensive – they had incurred a surfeit of tragedy, as today another worker had fallen from the third tier of the aqueduct, suffered acute injuries and manifest dislocations, and infected the crew with an implacable insistence that more scaffolding would be raised. Without more scaffolding, the accidents would continue inexorably.

  25. Sesquipedalian Story There was no clamor. The stoneworkers made no audible complaint, no derisive retort or ostentatious show of discontent; there was no manifest insurrection, but a surreal serenity pervaded the atmosphere, giving an almost grotesque character to the scene.
