Have read the book and seen the film, can't remember Wemmick. Could you put in the quote? It's not aged parent is it - I remember finding it hilarious to call my mum and dad aged parents after reading one of Dicken's books?

Aged Parent

Yep, Aged Parent. My sister and I have been calling my dad that for about 20 years now. We also do the "Just give him a nod" bit too.

Aged Parent, usually shortened by Wemmick to Aged P. They are both delightful characters, and if you study the theme of 'the notion of a gentleman' in the book, you will see that Wemmick in particular is a perfect gentleman.
