Come, then, answer me another question. Which seems to you to be the better, and which should you choose if both were open to you, to voyage or to voyage with someone else ?
To voyage with someone else, for my part.
To run with someone else.
To ride, or to ride with someone else?
To ride with someone else.
To throw the javelin, or to throw it with someone else ?
To throw it with someone else.
Then, in like manner, should you not choose to eat with someone else, rather than just to eat ?
I cannot but admit it. Hereafter I shall go to you _ like a schoolboy both in the morning and after luncheon to learn your art. You, for your part, ought to teach me ungrudgingly, for I shall be your first pupil. They say that mothers love their first children more.
