Fēlīx et fūr

post cēnam Quīntus rogāvit, 'pater, cūr Fēlīx nunc est lībertus? ōlim
erat servus tuus.'
    tum pater tōtam rem nārrāvit.

Caecilius:Fēlīx ōlim in tablīnō scrībēbat. Fēlīx erat sōlus.
5  Clēmēns et Grumiō cibum in forō quaerēbant.
Metella aberat, quod sorōrem vīsitābat.
Fēlīx:pater tuus aberat, quod argentāriam in forō
administrābat.
Caecilius:nēmō erat in vīllā nisi Fēlīx et īnfāns. parvus
10  īnfāns in cubiculō dormiēbat. subitō fūr per
iānuam intrāvit. fūr tacitē ātrium
circumspectāvit; tacitē cubiculum intrāvit, ubi
īnfāns erat. Fēlīx nihil audīvit, quod intentē
labōrābat. fūr parvum īnfantem ē vīllā tacitē
15  portābat. subitō īnfāns vāgīvit. Fēlīx, postquam
clāmōrem audīvit, statim ē tablīnō festīnāvit.
     'furcifer!' clāmāvit Fēlīx īrātus, et fūrem
ferōciter pulsāvit. Fēlīx fūrem paene necāvit.
ita Fēlīx parvum īnfantem servāvit.
Fēlīx:20  dominus, postquam rem audīvit, erat laetus et
mē līberāvit. ego igitur sum lībertus.
Quīntus:sed quis erat īnfāns?
Caecilius:erat Quīntus!
