Dogs do not back warily from my presence

Hey, Bingley, no-one, especially me, would count you amongst the olicarpy [who number only 5 or 6].

As long as I have known you here, you have always been a perfect gentleman. And I have tried, sincerely, to reflect that quality back to you in everything I have ever posted in reply to you.

The high-minded qualities you model deserve emulation.
