I say, chaps! One hesitates to broach this topic in mixed company, but there appears to be a mannerless  urchin  running amok in the drawing room. And with a full nappy, too, unless my wits have utterly failed.

Quick, man, send for a footman -- or an upstairs maid -- or a stable boy! Have the verminous creature removed from forthwith before he casts a pall on the assembled company.

Fank ye. Ye welkum.

Ai do apologise. It was not intended for the Good and Beautiful to see one in one's *ahem* "evening wear".

...n' if that won't work, perhaps a threat to send it off to military school...

(Edited to correct spelling. Apparently finishing school didn't help with that!)

Pachyderm

My dear lady, the last thing we need is it trained to kill. Simply not the done thing. As in my day, commissions should be bought, it keeps the riff-raff out.

Yesh, quite right. Maybe just boarding school then. Finishing school was certainly the finish of me. Particularly since the finishing school they sent me to was in Finland. I've never been quite able to face pickled herring since.

Do you suppose he' saying "aloe", perhaps? Hazzums got a naughty bad boo-boo? Nursie, be a dove and take the poor widdle ting off to the infirmary.

Woozle, woozle woo. Tut-tut. There, there.
