*Calpurnia sat in the courtyard under an olive tree...in her hands she held a cloak, deep scarlet with gold trim...one from Gauis...she was repairing a small tear in the fabric among the peace and quiet of the gardens...the time of day and sounds of the garden were very calming...*

*Julius Caesar walked out of the comfort of his home's walls and into the courtyard with his wife. He sat, it was one of those times where he could enjoy peace instead of the yelling of Senators or diplomats. Gently, he ran his hand through his wives hair, so she would acknoledge his presents.*
