Mike:
Or perhaps it a case of:
Noli me vocate, ego te vocabo.
I wonder why we think things sound better in Latin. Perhaps it is still a vestige of upper class snobbery.
Also I do not think that AR was impressed with the little town near SW as he is quite disparaging about it in SW in describing the natives and the place as gossipy. I wonder if the shop keeper was taken from real life.
