The English Duck

– Why do these people with their clicking devices always come en masse when all a gentleman wants is a quiet bit of sunshine?
– I don’t know, Sir, but presume your question was a rethorical one.

– Shall we keep pretending we do not care about this man crouching on the starboard side of us?
– Do you mean the right side?
– Oh, you are a river duck, old chap… Yes, on the right side.
– I think we should keep calm and carry on. River or sea, we are first of all English ducks.
