Cuthbert SoupWell, well, well, " said Aitch Dee, his arms folded across his chest. "Well, well, well, well, " replied Pavel, not to be out welled.
About This Quote
The exchange of these two phrases is a common way of introducing oneself to others. "Well, well, well" comes from the Scottish phrase "Weel, weel, weel," which means "Well, well." The Scottish word "weel" has many uses including: to be in good health; to be very pleased; and "to agree." This last usage is how it gets its meaning of "agreeing." The words then come together as a greeting. However, the word that the two use is not used in modern English anymore. The modern English equivalent that sounds similar to this exchange would be "Howdy." In this context, both Aitch Dee and Pavel are trying to establish themselves as being in good health as well as being very pleased. But they also use this phrase as a greeting.
