It's Smith of Wootton Major speaking to his son Ned. (Everyone else was at a birthday party...)

Indeed, our esteemed minor works expert appears to have better things to do...
Well, here's a call for assistance: Quote:

 Just I'm through my Pratchett (again), and the Mended Drum talk rubbed in on me a bit (Mended (formerly Broken) Drum being an infamous inn where people go to have scuffles. But good manners should be remembered, so it always starts with 'whom are you calling a [instert a word with tiny foreign flavour to it, like 'expert' per instance], pal?' kind of a prelude. Not that I was intendind to have scuffle with anyone, just 'expert' caught ear in a MD way )Next one: Quote:

That quote sounded so unfamiliar that I thought it could only be in a minor work I've not yet read. So I dug out my copy of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and sure enough! I found it. It's the Green Knight, speaking to Sir Gawain.
