He then threw the load over his shoulder and entered the city. Cleopatra was about twenty-one years old, but she was slender and graceful, so the burden was not very heavy. At the gates of the palace, Apollodorus told the guards that he had a present for Caesar. They let him pass, and he carried his package safely to Caesar’s quarters. Caesar was charmed when it was unrolled to reveal Cleopatra. The conversation that followed only strengthened Caesar’s first impression of her. Her intelligence, her cleverness, and even the way she spoke made her an entertaining companion, quite apart from her extensive personal charms. In fact, she completely won the great conqueror’s heart, and it immediately became impossible for him to judge impartially who had the strongest right to the throne.\" \u003cstrong\u003e-From the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJacob Abbott\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was an American writer of children's books.
