There is a baby who cannot speak sleeping in a cradle. Infants are breastfed by nursing mothers, and when the babies want food, they cry. Aemilia and Iulius have had many children, and Aemilia feeds her babies herself. Iulius wants the new baby to be a boy, but Aemilia wants it to be a girl. Iulius and Aemilia no longer love each other, and the baby sleeps in Iulius' room.
Vocabulary:
There was no new vocabulary when I reread this chapter.
Grammar:
- Ablative of Separation:
- Words expressing separation or taking away are followed by the ablative, often with the prepositions ā (ab), dē, and ē (ex). "Careo, carere" works with an ablative of separation (the thing lacked is ablative)
