About this book
The Unwilling Vestal is described as A Tale of Rome under the Caesars, by Edward Lucas White. The contents list divides the work into books headed, among others, THE RAGE OF DISAPPOINTMENT, THE REVOLT OF DESPONDENCY and THE REBELLION OF DESPERATION. Brinnarius calls a slave and bids him fetch Brinnaria. A slave addressed as Dastor says that, instead of coming with him, the young lady sent a message, and her father growls: Another of her jokes.
Brinnaria is said to have felt religious emotions to an overwhelming extent at this period of her life, and to have developed into a capable performer on the water-organ. The text describes a woman whose personal physician, three expert readers and a half dozen musicians did not spoil her, and who was imperious enough, self-willed and obstinately resolute to have her own way in all matters.
