“What else do you remember about him, Pete?” asked Doris, cutting a little slice of lemon tart to taste.

“I remember my mother telling me about his pocket watch,” said Pete. “He would let her press a button, and the cover would flip open. She liked the face of the clock because it had big Roman numerals on it. The words ‘Tempus fugit’ were engraved on the inside.”

“Is that who made the watch?” asked Amelia Bedelia.

“No. Tempus fugit means ‘Time flies’ in Latin,” said Pete. “Way back when I was growing up, we all had to take Latin.”

“You grew up speaking Latin?” said Amelia Bedelia. “Wow, you are much older than I thought. Did your mom and dad take you to the Colosseum to see the chariot races?”

It took a long time for Doris to stop laughing. She was still giggling when she put a plate of french fries in front of Amelia Bedelia.

“These are on the house,” said Doris. “And if Julius Caesar . . . I mean Pete . . . doesn’t agree, I’ll pay for them. I needed a good laugh today.” Doris walked away, wiping her eyes on her apron.
