Ecce Romani Chapter 7 Story: Bad News
In villa sedet vir Romanus, nomine Gaius Cornelius, qui est pater Marci et Corneliae. Cornelius est senator Romanus. Solus sedet quod multas epistulas scribere vult. Dum pater occupatus est, Marcus et Sextus et Cornelia in agris vicinis errant. Ibi multos servos laborantes spectant.
Subito nuntium conspiciunt qui ad eos venit.  Nuntius, ubi advenit, pueros salutat. 5
"Salve!" respondet Marcus. "Quem tu petis?"
Nuntius, "Gaium Cornelium peto," inquit.
Marcus, "Gaius Cornelius est pater meus," inquit.  "Est in villa." Nuntium in villam ducit et patrem petit.
"Pater," inquit Marcus, "nuntius in villa est." 10
Cornelius statim venit et nuntium salutat. Epistulam nuntius tradit. Cornelius, ubi epistulam legit, "Eheu!" inquit. "Princeps senatores Romanos ad urbem revocat. Eos consulere vult. Necesse est ad urbem redire."
"Eugepae!" clamat Sextus, qui Romam ire vult.  Gemit Cornelia quod Flavia ad urbem venire non potest.
