Despite the wording of his question, Ben-Aryeh spoke to Vitas with a degree of friendliness and banter.After traveling through most of the night, stopping every hour to rest, and traveling through the morning at a constant pace, they had just passed through Givat Shaul, a town that overlooked the place where the road from Caesarea joined the road from Sebaste to continue the last three miles into Jerusalem.It was a relatively cool day, the afternoon was still pleasant, the green of the date tre...es an equally pleasant sight against the hills and sky. There had been no incidents with bandits, and with Jerusalem so near, Ben-Aryeh was far more relaxed than he had been at the beginning of the journey.“You accuse me of hating Jews?” Vitas asked mildly. “I find that interesting.”The manner of this Roman had also contributed to Ben-Aryeh’s relaxed state. Ben-Aryeh had observed over his life that the rigors of travel with another person added to whatever friction might have existed previously, observing too that since he usually found fault with another man’s traveling habits, the friction was inescapable.Vitas, on the other hand, was so relaxed and quiet and polite, such an intelligent man of debate, that Ben-Aryeh had been forced to admit to himself that the journey had actually been enjoyable.Except for the fact that the man was a Roman.Even that was less of a problem now.MoreLess
