Overheard at Milliway's

"Now see 'ere, they haddressed the blinkin' hinvitation to bloody tuppin' Orace.  My name ain't bloomin' Orace, hit's Alf.  But Mr. Templar called me 'orace once - 'e does such, makin' up names, because 'e thinks 'e's clever - and all the other young gen'lemen 'eard it, an' they took to callin' me Orace has if hit never 'ad hany haitches, an' I can't be rid of hit.  I don't mind it from 'im, you know, but the blinkin' Union ought to 'ave it right on the bloomin' hinvitation."

"Scouring the silver in sea-water must present interesting difficulties.  Do you find you suffer much from lime-scale?"

"Which it's a bloody pain and no mistake."

"If I may suggest a particular remedy I have found efficacious..."
.
"Obviously, Mr. Bunter, technological advances have made the detective's work much easier."

"Very interesting, Mr. Pennyworth.  My particular hobby is photography - quite useful in the preservation of fingerprints and other ephemeral evidence, you know - but don't let me bore you by talking shop."

"Oh no, not at all."
.
"...so when I see he's got an attack of the nerves coming on, I bustle him off to the seashore and cut all the telephone wires."

"As distressing as it must be, I almost wish my own employer had the sense to manifest his post-traumatic stress disorder in such a straightforward manner.  I'm sure I don't know what led him to believe that criminals would be particularly afraid of a small flying mammal."

"'ere, there's that business with the 'ward,' too, hain't there?  I've 'eard rumors about Mr. Templar 'avin' all 'is young gen'lemen, but at least they're all legal hadults."

"Mr. Bunter, if I may have a word with you in private?  I believe your experience may be helpful in my own employer's... unusual situation."
.
"You know, Reg, I 'eard - beg pardon, I heard - about that cow creamer from His Lordship, but I never thought to connect it with you."

"Surely you did not ascribe the plot's success to Mr. Wooster.  Though an excellent man in some other respects, his mental accomplishments are negligible."
.
"I wonder that 'is Nibs hain't never come after Mr. Templar."

"The Saint's targets have not, as yet, been numbered amongst our acquaintance, so there's been no need.  My employer, unlike some of yours, is not a vigilante."

"Speaking thereof, the thought has crossed my mind that our employers are rather alike."

"Hexcept Mr. Templar don't like bats. 'e calls 'em furry hinsects.  One flew into the 'irondel once an' hit damn near killed us hall."
.
"Would one of you be so kind as to assist me in conveying Mr. Killick to a more appropriate resting place?  He appears to have nodded off."

"'e'll regret that in the mornin', 'e will."

"I shall leave him the recipe for my special morning draught."

"Oh, you've got one too?  Let's see it, we can compare.  A base of raw egg and Tabasco is the usual, isn't it?"

"Yes, but it's what you add to it that makes it truly stand out..."
