Herī māne prīmum
pater, “Hūc venīte,” inquit, “Carole et Maria. Mox necesse erit mē et mātrem
iter facere. Paucōs diēs aberimus. Cupitisne vōs cum fīnitimō nostrō manēre?”
Carolus erat
laetus quod fīlius fīnitimī mīles est. Hic mīles patrem mātremque nunc
vīsitābat. Deinde, ubi omnēs rēs cōnstitūtae et parātae erant, omnēs domum
relīquērunt.

Fīlius fīnitimī in
castrīs cum aliīs mīlitibus habitat. Hīc habitat pars exercitūs Americānī.

Carolus fābulās
fīlī fīnitimī laetē audit. Haec mīles nārrat. Ante portās castrōrum duo vigilēs*
stant. Ē castrīs prōspectant et sī perīculum vident mīlitēs monent. Saepe hōrae
vigilibus longae videntur. Castra sunt magna. Ubīque sunt mīlitēs. In hāc parte
sunt tabernācula et tēcta mīlitum et ducum. In aliā parte sunt agrī magnī quō
in locō virī mīlitēs esse parant. Aliī moenia aedificant, aliī vāllum parant.
Ubīque sunt nūntiī, servī ducum, quī epistulās portant.
