    Now it was day.  At dawn the coachman with the help of the innkeepers slaves takes the trunk from the Cornelian family.  And with the help of the innkeepers slaves , toward the inn they went.  At that moment, the slaves handed over the Cornelian trunks to the coachman.  Meanwhile at the inn, while everyone was preparing themselves, Sextus, already forgetful of the terror of the nightmare was telling a story of the soldiers to Cornelia; Eucleides was giving commands to the slaves.  Cornelius himself was shouting at his wife and kids, "Come on!  Don't doddle! It is time to leave!"

    "Goodbye!" the boys shouted.
     " Goodbye!" responded the innkeeper, who wasstanding in the road. "Don't fall into the ditch again!" You are not able to sleep in all inns well.At the moment, the carriage driver picks up the reins and beats the horses. Finally again they began to go to Rome.
    ON the journey Sextus explains about the dead mouse to Marcus; Corneolius told the story of the soldier to his wife.  Already they were approaching the city, when suddenly the boys saw a huge building.
