Count your blessings, old chum. Of gentlemen's personal gentlemen
you may not yet have a sufficiency, but are you beset on all wotsits
by fiancees who want you to read "Types of Ethical Theory"?
Checking that I'd got the title right, I found this:
http://jes.sagepub.com/cgi/pdf_extract/17/3/216?ck=nck
which contains the suggestion that some kinds of philosopher go
around writing books simply in order to help the Florence Crayes of
the world mold their Bertie Woosters. This we suspected. Possibly
even now some lurkers on the list are reading this and exclaiming to
themselves, "Crikey, they're on to me, tum tum, tiddely tea, and
lemon"? Frightfully odd chaps, some of these philosophy blighters,
but musical. That I'll grant you.
