Doesn't he use canes to get around? That makes the joke kinda cruel.

Yes, he did. I was wondering about that aspect.

Actually, using "....fallen and can't get up" as a joke is kind of cruel in general-- but the joke was established in a less careful era.

That might apply to Sir Henry Merrivale also. But what's the point? Is he running for office?

I do not love thee, Dr. Fell.
The reason is, you charge like hell.

I had to look it up too.

Thanks. This would make such a button a high-trivia fannish prompt.

Why?

I do not love thee, Dr. Button.
