[3] Interdum ā tēctō dominī servī mittēbantur. Saepe sē in fugam dabant. Tum sine auxiliō per tōtam terram errābant. Interdum cum bēstiīs ferīs pugnāre iubēbantur. Interdum servī ā ducibus incitābantur et posteā bellum erat. Animus servī bonī prō dominō suō pugnāre semper parātus erat. Sī dominus et servus in perīculō erant, servus nōn sē, sed dominum servābat. Multī servī vītam dūram agēbant ubi dominī erant saevī.

[4] "Servōs
in Americā nōn habēmus," inquit Maria.
"Ōlim servōs
habēbātis," respondet mīles. "Servī vestrī erant Āfricānī et dominī
saepe erant saevī."
"Ita, sed
ūnus vir, dux magnus, repertus est. Is servīs nōn erat inimīcus,"
respondet Maria. "Bellum magnum, tamen, inter populōs terrae nostrae erat.
Hodiē omnēs sunt amīcī. Incolae inter sē animō bonō sunt. Hoc bellum memoriā
tenēre nōn cupiō."
