Episode 5.1: Meet Sinistrus

 

"tū quid scīs?" inquit Bellātor, prōcēdēns. "quōmodo haec scīs?"

 

Sinistrus stetit. tum rīsit. nōn subrīsit. rīsit sīcut homō quī diū aliquid exspectāverat et tandem id invēnit.

 

"tandem!" inquit, per ātrium ambulāns, manibus agitātīs. "tandem aliquis rogat!"

 

sē ad Recentiōs vertit. oculī eius ārdēbant.

 

"nōn respondēbō," inquit. "nōndum. sed rogāte vōs ipsōs: cūr putātis vōs hīc esse?"

 

"hīc" poterat significāre "in vīllā Caeciliī." poterat significāre "Pompēiīs." poterat significāre aliquid maius quod Recentiī nōn intellegēbant.

 

Sinistrus eōs spectāns tacēbat. exspectābat. tōtam attentiōnem suam eīs dederat, sīcut aliquid pretiōsum.
