"And of course the great thing is to gt the young blighter safely married and settled down, thus avoiding the risk of his coming in one day and laying on the mat something with a platinum head and an Oxford accent which he picked up on the pier at Blackpool. You remember what a pushover he always was for the gentle sex."
"I haven't seen Pongo since we were kids."
"Even then he was litting rom flower to flower like a willowy butterfly. He was the Don Juan of his dancing class when he wore Little Lord Fauntleroy suits, his heart an open door with 'Welcome' on the mat."
(from Uncle Dynamite, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
