I'd love to get my hands on the Latin edition of _Asterix and the
Roman Agent,_ where Caesar sends in a guy who just naturally spreads
trouble whereever he goes:
"Oh, so _this_ is Caesar's secret weapon? He doesn't look like much!"
"Oh, that's how it always is, isn't it? If it isn't Brutus' idea,
Brutus gets jealous!"
"JEALOUS? I may be jealous, but I never betrayed Caesar! I was never
in the pay of Pompey!"
*as things rapidly go pear-shaped, the trouble maker holds up his hands:*
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen! I don't want to be the cause of any dispute!
I'm sure, if in the past, you've taken advantage of Caesar's
_gullibility_..."
