Cicero's Grammar Lesson

I've got it now!'” young Marcus Brutus yelled. “Like Galantine” Cicero averred, “it finally has gelled. I told you I could make it clear, Nullifidian no longer, so Quid pro Quo- get out your purse and pay my invoiced Wonga”. “ But what's an Antonym” said Brutus, “thought I'd throw that at ya” “It's your best mate” sighed Cicero, “who married Cleopatra”.
