Somewhat odd. I would have said 'and that he would do best to pay no attention to his tricks.'

Would it sound better if he wrote "and that he'd better pay no attention to his tricks"?

Actually I kinda said that (sans elision admittedly).. but I don't blame you getting lost while wading through all that stuff

About '...my father used to say, the wise dwarf that he was.': I don't see a problem with this - it's a type of usage I've seen hundreds of times.

But you're the one with the qualifications, свиристель my dear, and so I defer gladly. Saw one of you at the zoo this weekend, as it goes. Made me smile.
