I wouldn't have made such a vulgar, and disgusting comment had I known a lady was present.
Yes, Booty, had he known, PIP never would have uttered such vulgarity.
Although he's naturally disinclined to draw attention to his many chivalrous displays, PIP has, to use just one example, ruined so many of his coats by laying them over mud and puddles for fair damsels and wizened crones alike. This is no small act, for it is exceedingly difficult for PIP to find an appropriate wardrobe replacement, given the generous and symmetrical proportions of his fit, 48-long coat size. Indeed, PIP's courteous acts have even taken adverbial life by entering our modern vernacular as behaving 'pippingly,' as in, "What a gallant young man, behaving so pippingly and with splendid aplomb." Modesty might prohibit PIP from singing his own praises, but he's no less than the Sir Walter Raleigh of our time. Hand to God.
