Misplaced Quotations
Pictures from Punch. 19th Century.
The "bad quarter of an hour" to which he refers is obviously the wrong quotation but look at him and look at her.
She has the self-assured look of an American about her (alright I could be wrong) and he has got the asinine expression, the weak chin, the tight crossed legs, the glib grin and the monacle (FER GOODNESS SAKES THE MONACLE) of the British twit.
We can't really complain when Americans use this stereotype ~ ~ ~ WE BRITS BLOODY INVENTED IT!
