Explanation:

In literature, a character's dialect can reveal aspects of their background and true nature. The word "shin" here is informal. Upper - class characters in literature (like a real duke) would typically use more formal language. So, the informal language suggests a discrepancy between his claimed status (upper - class duke) and his actual language use.

Answer:

His informal language suggests that he might not really be an upper - class duke.
