He meets some friends at the temple of Tellus by appointment with the sacristan, "ab aeditimo, ut dicere didicimus a patribus nostris; ut corrigimur ab recentibus urbanis, ab aedituo." These friends' names, Fundanius, Agrius, and Agrasius, suggest the nature of the conversation, which turns mainly on the purchase and cultivation of land and stock.
"Now, I think it is undone, and can be done, master," replied Tom. "A needle and thread will soon join the pieces of your old coat again in holy matrimony, I may safely say " "True. "`Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus. I feel as if I were lifted up, and could dance, yea, and could exalt my voice and sing." "Could you, my jolly old master? then we will both dance and sing

Director Newton studied this installation in silence for some time, then went in search of Brandon. "I hadn't considered the possibility of being attacked again between here and Tellus, but there's always the chance," he admitted.
