Marcus is in a hurry, he wants to get to see Septimum as soon as possible. His slave wakes him up, but where are clothes and shoes?
This is the third lesson from a very good (probably the best) Latin textbook ever published in Poland. The book is not available anymore but it sometimes can be found second hand.

– Ŭbi sŭnt călcĕī? – rŏgăt Mārcŭs.
– Călcĕī? Ĭbī călcĕŭs, ŭbi cătŭlŭs. Cĕrbĕrulus călcĕōs măndūcăt – rĕspŏndĕt sĕrvŭs.
Ĕstnĕ ĭd vērŭm? Bēstĭăm tĕnē! Fēstīnā pŭĕr – Mārcŭs īrăm tĕnĕt. – Cūr ĭs nōn fēstīnăt?

Mārcŭs: Quĭd? Sălsāmĕntŭm? Dī ĭmmŏrtālēs! Sălsāmĕntă nŏcĕt, Ĕpĭdĭcĕ.
Ĕpĭdĭcŭs: Cūr, dŏmĭnĕ?
Mārcŭs: Sălsāmĕntă īrăm ĕxcĭtant!
I use classic restored Latin pronunciation. The text is very basic, so it is useful for beginners in the language.
