12.07.25: Level 2; Sonnenschein: Rōbur et Aes Triplex [3](i); text and exercises

Hōra iam decima erat cum ā Rēgālī nōs in scapham dedimus. Tum ad lītus rēmigāre necesse erat; nam ventus adversus erat. Ego et Marcus ūnā cum patruō meō et nautā veterānō rēmīs labōrāvimus. Sed nōn ante undecimam hōram in lītore stetimus. Dum domum properāmus, imber fuit, et necesse erat in tabernā aliquantum temporis exspectāre: intrāvimus et nōs recreāvimus; nam fatīgātī erāmus. Sed 'post tenebrās lūx.' Cum domum adventāvimus, amita mea et Lȳdia "Ubi tam diū fuistis?" inquiunt; "nōs anxiae fuimus; sed cēna iam parāta est." Tum nōs "Multa spectāvimus" inquimus; "ambulātiō longa sed pergrāta et ūtilis fuit." Post cēnam Marcus et Alexander Dubrās in vehiculō properāvērunt. Ego per noctem dē Britannīs antīquīs et dē classe Britannicā hodiernā somniāvī. Ante oculōs erant virī fortēs membrīs robustīs, flāvīs capillīs, oculīs caeruleīs cum Rōmānīs terrā marīque pugnantēs.
