Oh! I was going to post this today as well, I do love it, it's so very upfront and cheeky! And don't you just love the way Dillon does not actually answer?
I made a remarkable discovery when I was reading last night: the whole 'Rears and Vices' thing is not a POB original - it's Jane Austen! And, even better, she puts the words in the mouth of a woman!!! (Sorry if you all know this already....)
"My home at my uncle's brought me acquainted with a circle of admirals. Of Rears and Vices I saw enough. Now do not be suspecting me of a pun, I entreat."
