I've been charged with the task of keeping this plinth upright." Gent: "What of it, my good fellow?" Cad: "Well, begging your pardon sir, my old mum's not long for this world - dropsy, you see. I must away to her bedside and bear witness to her last wishes." The cad affects to wipe away a tear. Gent: "Gird your loins, my man. Upon my life I'll keep this plinth from falling or I'm a Dutchman from the distant Netherlands." Cad: "Gawd bless you sir." The cad ups and aways on his toes to a vantage point. Time passes... the Gent realises he's been had.
