2 Waterlo(o) is the battle +C, Calvin's first +Set, prepared.

John (Water closet) = C(alvin's first) "In" WATERLO(o) battle not entirely + SET (prepared)

starlet - rising young actress

[JJ109]

I can also see "a starlet" but can't get the "SC"

[Jackdaw33]

Sc - that is.
Starlet - young actress.

[Jackdaw33]

Sc (scilicet) is an alternative to viz (namely)

[roslyn251254]

sc ...scilicet .that is

Thanks gang - sorry for the multi posts !

[Jackdaw33]

Scilicet (sc) (let it be known) and Videlicet (viz), (let it be seen) are near synonyms in Latin.

[Jackdaw33]

BTW, the 'z' in viz is not an abbreviation but shorthand script so should not be followed with a '.'.
