Salvius multos amicos in urbe Londinio habet, quos numquam huc invitat. saepe ad urbem Londinium iter facit, ubi illos amicos visitat. me in hac villa solam semper relinquit. plurimas amicas novas cognoscere volo. fabri cotidie veniunt, sed ego eis nihil dicere audeo. nonne maritus meus est crudelis?’ Salvius, qui hortum tacitus intraverat, Rufillam audivit. ‘tace, uxor!’ clamavit. ‘cur me vituperas? non decorum est uxori Romanae maritum vituperare.’ tum Salvius Rufillam pulsavit. Rufilla, quam Salvius numquam antea pulsaverat, perterrita ex horto fugit.
