hunc igitur Quintianum, si quas avis in cena habuisset aut, quod aiunt, magiae causa interemisset, puerum nullum habuisse, qui pinnas converreret et foras abiceret, praeterea fumi tantam vim fuisse, ut parietes atros redderet, eamque deformitatem, quoad habitavit, passum in cubiculo suo Quintianum! Nihil dicis, Aemiliane, non est veri simile, nisi forte Crassus non in cubiculum reversus perrexit, sed suo more recta ad focum.
well, that if Quintianus here had had any birds for dinner or, as they allege, had killed them for magical purposes, he would not have had a slave to sweep up the feathers and throw them out; and moreover that there was such a cloud of smoke as to turn the walls black, and that Quintianus would have borne with that mess in his room as long as he stayed there! Youre talking nonsense, Aemilianus, its not plausible, unless perhaps Crassus on his return went not to the room, but in his usual way straight to the stove.
