"How did you articulate when you spoke the words 'Brabazon-Plank'? Distinctly?"
"Yes."
"You didn't mumble?"
"No."
"So you could say that what you had really said was 'Smith' or "Knachtbull-Huguessen'?"
"No."
Lord Ickenham reflected. "Well, then, what we must do is to tell him that I am our Plank's brother."
"Do you think you could get away with that?"
"There are no limits to what I can get away with when I am functioning properly."
(from Uncle Dynamite, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
