In this chapter, first, the narrator discusses who lives in the house and how it is a large family. Then, the main part of the story is devoted to discussing the structure of the Roman house, including doors, windows, Atrium, Peristylum, gardens, and bedrooms. Aemilia compliments Iulia and her roses, but Marcus and Quintus make fun of Iulia, saying she has an ugly nose, causing her to cry and run away. Then, Delia tells Aemilia that Quintus has fallen into the water-filled area of the Atrium because of Marcus, and is calling for help! Once again, the chapter ends with a cliffhanger.
