Flannery has been telling people that there's a "Gentleman in our garden what protects our tomatoes." The Gentleman in question is likely a beetle that I showed her last week. I picked him up and showed him to her, saying, "Look at this gentleman, Flannery. He eats little bugs that bother our tomatoes." I picked up that term from reading the Doodle's namesake's Greenleaf, where the bull is referred to as a gentleman. The "what" is how Flannery introduces most of her essential clauses (instead of that).
I'm in no hurry to correct her on any of it.
