@glitterbag,
I do beg your pardon, milady. But the fact is I was startled. Having just tossed a bone mut to Lustig Andrei, I glanced up and found myself being addressed, and what with Andy fresh on my mind, and your name flashing in mine eye, I was, as I said, startled. It were the term "prissy" what nigh caused me to drop my teeth, something of a disaster as I'm sitting here in the dark, typing by screenlight. The shock of my old compañero being called prissy was too much of a jolt; dolt I could handle, as it applies mutually, but prissy! No way.
Once again, I solicit your gracious pardon, with all due obsequies.
