Servilia, whose (3) best friend lately is her pet bird, does not know how to fight against the customs of her day and asks her brother, to whom (4) she turned in the past, for help. His advice is for her to make her life with the person who (5) has been chosen for her and to let her father, with whom (6) there is no arguing, alone.
