Yea, if you can 'hold' your tongue (and it is hard thing to do) and not say a word to the little fellow, things might just fall in place - not instantly, but eventually.
Last night I held a dinner party for a dozen people and all of them IGNORED Taylor at the front door. As each arrived, Taylor told us that people were here, he followed them from the door up the stairs into the top lounge and waited for any signs of recognition and if it was forthcoming he would do what he had been dying to do - give a proper Taylor welcome to whoever was prepared to acknowledge him.
