Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse

“Bad,
Jeeves.”
“Yes,
sir.”
“And
how
long
did
this
nuisance
continue?”
“For
some
not
inconsiderable
time,
I
gather,
sir.
According
to
Mr.
Fink-Nottle,
he
supplied
Miss
Bassett
with
very
full
and
complete
information
not
only
with
respect
to
the
common
newt,
but
also
the
crested
and
palmated
varieties.
He
described
to
her
how
newts,
during
the
breeding
season,
live
in
the
water,
subsisting
upon
tadpoles,
insect
larvae,
and
crustaceans;
how,
later,
they
make
their
way
to
the
land
and
eat
slugs
and
worms;
and
how
the
newly
born
newt
has
three
pairs
of
long,
plumlike,
external
gills.
And
he
was
just
observing
that
newts
differ
from
salamanders
in
the
shape
of
the
tail,
which
is
compressed,
and
that
a
marked
sexual
dimorphism
prevails
in
most
species,
when
the
young
lady
rose
and
said
that
she
thought
she
would
go
back
to
the
house.”
“And
then----”
“She
went,
sir.”
I
stood
musing.
More
and
more,
it
was
beginning
to
be
borne
in
upon
me
what
a
particularly
difficult
chap
Gussie
was
to
help.
He
seemed
to
so
marked
an
extent
to
lack
snap
and
finish.
With
infinite
toil,
you
manoeuvred
him
into
a
position
where
all
he
had
to
do
was
charge
ahead,
and
he
didn’t
charge
ahead,
but
went
off
sideways,
missing
the
objective
completely.
“Difficult,
Jeeves.”
“Yes,
sir.”
In
happier
circs.,
of
course,
I
would
have
canvassed
his
views
on
the
matter.
But
after
what
had
occurred
in
connection
with
that
mess-jacket,
my
lips
were
sealed.
“Well,
I
must
think
it
over.”
