Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse

But
now
I
saw
that
I
must
carry
on
as
planned.
The
total
absence
of
pep,
ginger,
and
the
right
spirit
which
the
man
had
displayed
during
these
conversational
exchanges
convinced
me
that
the
strongest
measures
would
be
necessary.
Immediately
upon
leaving
him,
therefore,
I
proceeded
to
the
pantry,
waited
till
the
butler
had
removed
himself
elsewhere,
and
nipped
in
and
secured
the
vital
jug.
A
few
moments
later,
after
a
wary
passage
of
the
stairs,
I
was
in
my
room.
And
the
first
thing
I
saw
there
was
Jeeves,
fooling
about
with
trousers.
He
gave
the
jug
a
look
which--wrongly,
as
it
was
to
turn
out--I
diagnosed
as
censorious.
I
drew
myself
up
a
bit.
I
intended
to
have
no
rot
from
the
fellow.
“Yes,
Jeeves?”
“Sir?”
“You
have
the
air
of
one
about
to
make
a
remark,
Jeeves.”
“Oh,
no,
sir.
I
note
that
you
are
in
possession
of
Mr.
Fink-Nottle’s
orange
juice.
I
was
merely
about
to
observe
that
in
my
opinion
it
would
be
injudicious
to
add
spirit
to
it.”
“That
is
a
remark,
Jeeves,
and
it
is
precisely----”
“Because
I
have
already
attended
to
the
matter,
sir.”
“What?”
“Yes,
sir.
I
decided,
after
all,
to
acquiesce
in
your
wishes.”
I
stared
at
the
man,
astounded.
I
was
deeply
moved.
Well,
I
mean,
wouldn’t
any
chap
who
had
been
going
about
thinking
that
the
old
feudal
spirit
was
dead
and
then
suddenly
found
it
wasn’t
have
been
deeply
moved?
“Jeeves,”
I
said,
“I
am
touched.”
“Thank
you,
sir.”
