Suckpepper Did everyone hear that? His Grace called me‘ dear girl’. Oh my sweet person, Sir, could you explain to your dear girl what bridging loans are? Pickles You could see, by the shape of Twaddle’ s gob that he was not attracted to the lady admiring him but he still managed to answer her last question. Twaddle Yes!-- Put an end to exchequer draining social security payments and bring in loans, which would be repayable on the resumption of employment. Pickles Marmaduke, placed the loud-hailer on the floor of the cart, stuck his thumbs behind the lapels of his evening suit and bounced up and down, like a pregnant pogo stick. He then picked up the rusty hailer again: Twaddle By reverting to bridging loans the work-shy could conceivably be deemed to be living on a negative income, which in turn would impact favourably upon inflation. Suckpepper Can I just check this next question out with Uncle Basil before I put it to you Sir? Twaddle No! I shall take the question as it is. Now QUICKLY PLEASE. Suckpepper What if people did not willingly resume employment, Sir? Twaddle That would be highly unlikely, Madam. But, if it was to occur, it would be swiftly dealt with by T. O. D. L. A. Suckpepper T. O. D. L. A. Your Grace? Twaddle Targeting Of Disposable Labour Assets, my plump- err my Dear. Suckpepper Goodness me! I feel faint. His Grace called me‘ My Dear’. He is such a handsome man. Twaddle That I am. Pickles Freeloader squirmed his way towards Twaddle. Freeloader Par excellence! My friend: PAR EXCELLENCE. Now I suggest we revel in the old Horse and Hound where we will recount each memorable word. Twaddle Not until you hit that poxy-faced nephew of yours a sound foot up the ass! Freeloader Indeed Sir: indeed, Your Grace that will be taken care of. Pickles The man who treated his subordinates with contempt actually wrote something down in a little book. He ' s as bad as I am.
