That  lady,  after  many  calls,  appears  in  a  cherry  coloured
tunic  with  a  yellow  girdle,  wiping  her  hands  with  her  necker-
chie£     She  has  splendid  rings  on  her  arms,  1^,  and  fingers,
which  she  pulls  oflF  to  show  them  to  the  stone-cutter's  kdy.
Trimalchio  is  proud  of  their  weight,  and  orders  a  balance  to
be  brought  in  to  confirm  his  assertions.     It  is  melancholy  to
relate  that,  in  the  end,  the  two  ladies  get  hopelessly  drunk,
and  fall  to  embracing  one  another  in  a  rather  hysterical  fashion.
