Freeloader A friend of Marmaduke ’ s is a friend of mine . Pickles I could tell , by Cretin ’ s face , that Freeloader was just another acquaintance of Twaddle ' s for little Cecil to be jealous of . Twaddle Basil , this is Olaf Gallowsbird . Olaf is the head of R . I . P . Olaf - Basil . Freeloader So very pleased to make your acquaintance , Olaf . A friend of Marmaduke ’ s is a friend of mine . Pickles Gallowsbird did not acknowledge him , but it was through ignorance rather than jealousy . Twaddle I have summoned you here , Good Sir , to assist in a matter of some delicacy . Pickles Twaddle addressed the crawly newcomer . Freeloader And most honoured , I am , to answer that appeal from such a distinguished person as yourself . Pickles Get on the higher step here , Perkin - I feel sick again . Twaddle Dear friend , due to an unfortunate altercation , our esteemed , leader of P . I . S . - Mister Davy Brudder , seems to have misplaced himself . Gallowsbird And he ' s got lost as well . Freeloader Davy Blubber ! Mister David Blubber - now let me think . Yes Mister Blubber is an acquaintance of mine . Cretin His name is Brudder – MISTER DAVY BRUDDER . Pickles Freeloader gave Cretin a very dirty look . He didn ' t take kindly to being corrected by those he considered his inferiors . Freeloader And pray ! How can I be of assistance - MISTER TWADDLE ? Twaddle You reputation for being associated with those of high station and influence is well known , Sir . Perhaps , you would be kind enough to suggest someone who might act as mediator in this little matter concerning Mister Blubb - er - Brudder . Pickles Basil Freeloader took his time replying as he savoured the compliment . Freeloader Yes ! Yes indeed . For a small consideration , that would be possible . Twaddle But of course ! Of course ! I would never approach such a distinguished businessman without firstly contemplating suitable reimbursement . Your time is precious . My time is precious . Time is money , when all is said and done . Freeloader In which case , I think , I would be safe in saying , we can work together , Mister Twaddle . Twaddle Duke ! Duke to my friends . Freeloader You do me a great honour - Mister Duke . Twaddle
Twaddle - Mister Twaddle , the ‘ Duke ' prefix is a sort of honorary title .
