What... What happened to uncle Leopold? Well, Sedgwick, your uncle was once a respectable corporate attorney. Then one day he attended a Ted Talk... The topic... Ayahuasca... A native medicine used by shamans to induce psychic journeys of transformation. On a lark, uncle Leopold booked a flight to Peru... Good Lord! Then what? Something happened there... And Leo was never the same. He began to question authority... Materialism... Even the very corporate power structure that rules our democracy. You mean to say uncle Leo became a... A hippie?! Please! Discretion! In this household we refer to his condition as the H word.

Poor Sedgie – he has occasional flashes of compassion but every authority figure in his life is training him to be a brute. He really doesn’t stand much chance.

Jarvis is the trusted servant rearing generations of Nuttinghams, much as the protagonist in “I, Robot.”

Get him a job as a weatherman.He’s a hippie, and he’s probably dippy.

Hmmm… “Mr. Jarvis” seems to be drifting over into “Mr. Carson” territory.

How good to see faithful Gentleman’s Gentleman Jarvis instilling solid Traditional Values (of the 1%) into Sedgie, and correcting his use of Bad Words!
