“Have you any other protégé to send me? I take charge of him.” (Letter of Cæsar cited by Cicero, Epist. Familiar., VII. 5.) – “I say not a word, I take not a step in Cæsar’s interest, but he immediately testifies in high terms that he attaches to it a value which assures me of his affection.” (Cicero, Epist. Familiar., VII. 5.)
