Whilst it is distressing to learn that your hypothermic pantry has been loaded atop the ne'r-do-wells pantechnicon, it is gratifying to discover that you were able to clarify your views to the miscreant.

You obedient servant

Indeed Sir, kindly engage the attention of the tradesman and indicate that your appliance is dripping like a South Shields strumpet upon a spacehopper. Such course vernacular will be of sufficient clarity as to leave the ill bred oaf in no doubt as to the nature of your distress.

Zounds Sirrah, thou art a cad and bounder. I have never had relations with that woman and stains upon her clothing are mere happenstance. I demand an apology and should one not be forthcoming will seek satisfaction in the usual method of wetted towels at sunset.

The Yorkshire Post from 1888! Shame on you Mr Snowman. You should have delivered the papers that the newsagent entrusted to you rather than hiding them in the chest.
When I did a paper round the papers got delivered........



ps. You seem very spritetly for one so old.

I fear Sir, that a misapprehension has arisen. I feel confident that a gentleman of your outstanding qualifications and obvious breeding would be most reluctant to engage in acts of unspeakable and lewd depravity with ill bred slatterns and dollymops. Particularly those domiciled in the putrescent work houses of the uncivilised north. I crave your pardon and shall donate half a crown to the home for fallen women of your choice.

'Tis said that the Duke of Wellington engaged in copulatory assignations with a twenty year old when he was well beyond sixty years of age. The victorian diet has much to recommend it.
