Right Ho, Jeeves

P. G. Wodehouse

“Rot!
It
was
just
a
pretext.”
“What
was?”
“This
shark
business.
She
wanted
to
get
rid
of
me,
and
grabbed
at
the
first
excuse.”
“No,
no.”
“I
tell
you
she
did.”
“But
what
on
earth
would
she
want
to
get
rid
of
you
for?”
“Exactly.
That’s
the
very
question
I
asked
myself.
And
here’s
the
answer:
Because
she
has
fallen
in
love
with
somebody
else.
It
sticks
out
a
mile.
There’s
no
other
possible
solution.
She
goes
to
Cannes
all
for
me,
she
comes
back
all
off
me.
Obviously
during
those
two
months,
she
must
have
transferred
her
affections
to
some
foul
blister
she
met
out
there.”
“No,
no.”
“Don’t
keep
saying
‘No,
no’.
She
must
have
done.
Well,
I’ll
tell
you
one
thing,
and
you
can
take
this
as
official.
If
ever
I
find
this
slimy,
slithery
snake
in
the
grass,
he
had
better
make
all
the
necessary
arrangements
at
his
favourite
nursing-home
without
delay,
because
I
am
going
to
be
very
rough
with
him.
I
propose,
if
and
when
found,
to
take
him
by
his
beastly
neck,
shake
him
till
he
froths,
and
pull
him
inside
out
and
make
him
swallow
himself.”
With
which
words
he
biffed
off;
and
I,
having
given
him
a
minute
or
two
to
get
out
of
the
way,
rose
and
made
for
the
drawing-room.
The
tendency
of
females
to
roost
in
drawing-rooms
after
dinner
being
well
marked,
I
expected
to
find
Angela
there.
It
was
my
intention
to
have
a
word
with
Angela.
