`` It is always one man 's work -- always and everywhere ! '' `` And one man 's life , '' said Allo . `` You are Emperor , but not a God . You may die . '' ' `` I have thought of that too , '' said he . `` Very good . If this wind holds , I shall be at the East end of the Wall by morning . To-morrow , then , I shall see you two when I inspect , and I will make you Captains of the Wall for this work . '' ' `` One instant , Cæsar , '' said Pertinax . `` All men have their price . I am not bought yet . '' ' `` Do you also begin to bargain so early ? '' said Maximus . `` Well ? '' ' `` Give me justice against my uncle Icenus , the Duumvir of Divio in Gaul , '' he said . ' `` Only a life ? I thought it would be money or an office . Certainly you shall have him . Write his name on these tablets -- on the red side ; the other is for the living ! '' and Maximus held out his tablets . '
`` He is of no use to me dead , '' said XXXXX .
