He says he used to take elocution lessons when he was a boy (and remembers a lovely line from his teacher, who said to him "Neil, dear, before you can be eccentric, you need to know where the circle is"). Which reminded me of Stephen King's novella If It Bleeds, where the outworldly antagonist also used to have a lisp, but then corrected it and, as an overcompensation, developed a slight delay before the s's.
