I think he does dislike it and as I mentioned in my comment he's right to do so; preferring the staff to keep their distance and not enforce friendly (first name) terms in an unequal relationship seems wholly sensible and admirable. It's like my mother's detestation of doctors and nurses calling her by her first name, when she often had half a century on them (I was most touched that at the inquest the Coroner asked what she would have preferred, and when I told her she then went on to call her "Mrs [legioneagle]")

But that doesn't get away from the language Patrick uses to convey his perfectly understandable distaste. "Prance around" suggest campiness and "answer to" suggest that it's he who is doing the calling, and both of those language choices suggest something about Patrick.
