The Pickwick Papers/WMG

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The only reason Job Trotter can understand and translate for him is because they know each other enough, and it's outright stated that Mr. Pickwick only understands him because of his knowledge of shorthand writing. There are also a handful of times where it would have benefited Jingle to speak plainly, suggesting that he isn't able to simply drop his speech mannerisms whenever they become inconvenient.
