"Don't say you've gone and forgotten where it is," said
Peggy.
Roger grinned.
"Don't be a donk," said John. Both he and Titty had seen
that grin and known that Roger had fished for Peggy and
caught her.

Like what happened to Peggy, I know you went fishing for me, and caught me.

"Once more into the breach, dear friends..."

The referenced note, although acceptable as is, perhaps suffers from the more modern approach to the spelling, as the NAME it uses, in the proper spelling of that time, should be: "CAESAR".

This connection is obscured by the modern pronunciation of the ancient name to where it sounds almost like: "seize her." The more proper way shows that the initial "C" is a hard "K"-like sound; the "AE" is pronounced as a long I, as "eye"; the "S" between two vowels is pronounced like "Z"; and the "AR" part rhymes with "far." Put those sounds together, and you get... yours truly.

What's in a name? A rose by any other name is still a thorn bush.

Cela suffit.
