"Dozens, my dear fellow. Help yourself."
"I don't want to interrupt you, if you're thinking about something."
"I am always thinking about something, but I can switch it off in a second, just like that. What seems to be the trouble?"
"Well, I'm in a bit of a jam, and my brother Ricky once told me that if ever I got into a jam of any kind you were the man to get me out of it. When it comes to fixing things, he said, you have to be seen to be believed."
Lord Ickenham was gratified, as any man would have been. One always likes a word of praise from the fans.
