SH>>lord devish, tell me about money

Once again, I'd say have two objects in the room, one for the "normal"
Lord Devish and one for the insulted one. The insulted one would have
the name "devish" (and probably others, like "buddy", "bozo" and "pal"
<grin>). The other would have to have a parse_name to make sure he has
*both* "devish" and "lord" in the name (or else at least "lord")
