"An uncle of mine."
"But he seemed respectable."
"That is to say, a step-uncle. Or would you call him step-step? He married my late step-mother's step-sister. I'm not half sure," said Ukridge, pondering, "that step-step wouldn't be the correct description."
These were deep waters, into which I was not prepared to plunge.
