Whilst Bunter had never been a boy scout, he felt that they had some good ideas
"It ain't right," said the man, his fingers fiddling nervously with the battered hat he was holding. "My Nellie's a good girl. She ain't never done it before, and she won't be doing it again, I'll see to that. But she's got a good situation at the Park, and they'll kick 'er out as soon as they realise, an' wot I say is, it takes two to tango."
"Quite right," said his lordship, suppressing an irritable desire to enquire why everyone always came to him on such occasions. "I'll cover the expenses, of course, Mr - er - Smiff, and in the meantime, you may rest assured I shall be having words with my nephew."
Nellie's father blinked at his lordship, puzzlement in his honest blue eyes.
"Your nephew, my lord?"
"Jerry. It's time the young blackguard faced up to his responsibilities."
"There must be some mistake, my lord. It weren't no Jerry wot knocked up my Nellie, it was a Mervyn."
