I managed to get two copies of this. I was wielding a classy cane and fighting enemies in the Cellar Door.

I had both High Brow and Expensive Smoke active when I learned the technique, but Al had previously tried High Brow without finding anything. My deck was Ghoul Bite, Brutality, Punch, Swordplay and Leaping Dodge, but one of the two instances I learned was after just Punch and Swordplay used in the fight.

At least with a cane equipped, combat message does not seem to change following another melee tech. And the message was with both High Brow and Expensive Smoke still active.

I've repeatedly got it without Expensive Smoke or High Brow. Wielded a cane (golden cane) and repeatedly used Punch / Crushing Punch / Knife followed by Swordplay. I think they key here is using the Melee-following variant of Swordplay with a cane equipped.

Nothing for the "beating" version of collapsible baton:

You sneak up behind the ganger and punch him square in the kidney for 14 stealth damage.
The ganger lines up a perfect shot, breathes, and fires, dealing 3 ranged damage.

You hammer the ganger unrelentingly, dealing 29 melee damage.

You continue beating the ganger with your baton for 24 melee damage.

You strike out at the ganger as though it's the most natural thing in the world, dealing 19 melee damage.

And GoldS and I confirm, the only opponents we can get the "ungrateful servant" result is the unwashed man. Nothing for the various other bums.

The classy cane gets a bonus defence with Mercy Killer (it does have a silver handle). No change in text with any of the forms of Cane, does not block Etheric attacks from non-bums, and no bums use Etheric attacks so I can't test that form.
