I had not realized how I had craved such luxuries as garum. I told my story to an accompaniment of Vedia's exclamations.
Thus Nonius Libo, the wealthy provincial who was to be induced to purchase me, would know nothing of my identity with Festus the Animal Tamer or of my connection with the Choragium. I acclaimed this project, as far more promising than Vedia's plan to seclude me in the dreary wilds of Bruttium. Tanno gave me a letter and went off.
Into the mansion scuttled the doorkeeper, the footmen, the lackeys, the hangers-on, the two dogs barking at their heels. I called them off in time to forestall any lacerated ankles, and still more marvellously they obeyed instantly, checked, withdrew to under the litter and there paced, side by side, to Vedia's home.
I lay abed, my mind milling over my situation, over Vedia's unexpected jealousy of Marcia, over the absurdity of it, over her illogical but impregnable indignation and over the equally baseless but similarly unalterable hostility of Vedius and Satronius. I concluded to try again to placate all three.
At the tavern another lined my wallet with bread, sausages, olives, dried figs and cheese, while I was changing into horseman's kit. I put into the wallet my money, more than enough cash for my journey home, and Vedia's letter. I then mounted, gave my boys their orders and set off at an easy canter.
