“It’s time to take you to Crito’s house.”

courtyard, Caliban spotted Socrates immediately. He still wore a
plain toga without a belt or decoration. His feet were bare,
and almost every man in the room surrounded him. In the
inner circle stood seven older men. They looked as least as old as
Socrates, and they leaned on the stone and wooden benches. In
the outer circle were a few middle-aged men and many men in
their twenties and thirties. These stood listening quietly.
