Right Ho, Jeeves

“I’m
afraid
he
doesn’t
care
for
me
in
that
way.
At
least,
he
has
said
nothing.
You
understand
that
I
am
only
telling
you
this
because----”
“Oh,
rather.”
“It’s
odd
that
you
should
have
asked
me
if
I
believed
in
love
at
first
sight.”
She
half
closed
her
eyes.
“‘Who
ever
loved
that
loved
not
at
first
sight?’”
she
said
in
a
rummy
voice
that
brought
back
to
me--I
don’t
know
why--the
picture
of
my
Aunt
Agatha,
as
Boadicea,
reciting
at
that
pageant
I
was
speaking
of.
“It’s
a
silly
little
story.
I
was
staying
with
some
friends
in
the
country,
and
I
had
gone
for
a
walk
with
my
dog,
and
the
poor
wee
mite
got
a
nasty
thorn
in
his
little
foot
and
I
didn’t
know
what
to
do.
And
then
suddenly
this
man
came
along----”
Harking
back
once
again
to
that
pageant,
in
sketching
out
for
you
my
emotions
on
that
occasion,
I
showed
you
only
the
darker
side
of
the
picture.
There
was,
I
should
now
mention,
a
splendid
aftermath
when,
having
climbed
out
of
my
suit
of
chain
mail
and
sneaked
off
to
the
local
pub,
I
entered
the
saloon
bar
and
requested
mine
host
to
start
pouring.
A
moment
later,
a
tankard
of
their
special
home-brewed
was
in
my
hand,
and
the
ecstasy
of
that
first
gollup
is
still
green
in
my
memory.
The
recollection
of
the
agony
through
which
I
had
passed
was
just
what
was
needed
to
make
it
perfect.
It
was
the
same
now.
When
I
realized,
listening
to
her
words,
that
she
must
be
referring
to
Gussie--I
mean
to
say,
there
couldn’t
have
been
a
whole
platoon
of
men
taking
thorns
out
of
her
dog
that
day;
the
animal
wasn’t
a
pin-cushion--and
became
aware
that
Gussie,
who
an
instant
before
had,
to
all
appearances,
gone
so
far
back
in
the
betting
as
not
to
be
worth
a
quotation,
was
the
big
winner
after
all,
a
positive
thrill
permeated
the
frame
and
there
escaped
my
lips
a
“Wow!”
so
crisp
and
hearty
that
the
Bassett
leaped
a
liberal
inch
and
a
half
from
terra
firma.
