that between Autronius and Catiline, between Autronius and Lentulus? What combination was

them for deeds of wickedness, lust and audacity?—what crime is there which Lentulus
did not plot with Autronius?—what atrocity did Catiline ever commit without his
assistance? while, in the meantime, Sulla not only abstained from seeking the concealment of
night and solitude in their company, but he had never the very slightest intercourse with
them, either in conversation or in casual meetings.
