It seems the boys can get nothing right: Their teachers fiftieth birthday is long past (they should have done their math homework); the servant they bought as a present for his birthday isnt just your run-of-the-mill Gaul slave but a courier running for his life; and, to top it all off, the message hes carrying requests the assassination of a Roman senator--the father of one of the boys.
