Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
180
“Speech,”
he
said
affably.
He
then
stood
with
his
thumbs
in
the
armholes
of
his
waistcoat,
waiting
for
the
applause
to
die
down.
It
was
some
time
before
this
happened,
for
he
had
got
a
very
fine
hand
indeed.
I
suppose
it
wasn’t
often
that
the
boys
of
Market
Snodsbury
Grammar
School
came
across
a
man
public-spirited
enough
to
call
their
head
master
a
silly
ass,
and
they
showed
their
appreciation
in
no
uncertain
manner.
Gussie
may
have
been
one
over
the
eight,
but
as
far
as
the
majority
of
those
present
were
concerned
he
was
sitting
on
top
of
the
world.
“Boys,”
said
Gussie,
“I
mean
ladies
and
gentlemen
and
boys,
I
do
not
detain
you
long,
but
I
suppose
on
this
occasion
to
feel
compelled
to
say
a
few
auspicious
words;
Ladies--and
boys
and
gentlemen--we
have
all
listened
with
interest
to
the
remarks
of
our
friend
here
who
forgot
to
shave
this
morning--I
don’t
know
his
name,
but
then
he
didn’t
know
mine--Fitz-Wattle,
I
mean,
absolutely
absurd--which
squares
things
up
a
bit--and
we
are
all
sorry
that
the
Reverend
What-ever-he-was-called
should
be
dying
of
adenoids,
but
after
all,
here
today,
gone
tomorrow,
and
all
flesh
is
as
grass,
and
what
not,
but
that
wasn’t
what
I
wanted
to
say.
What
I
wanted
to
say
was
this--and
I
say
it
confidently--without
fear
of
contradiction--I
say,
in
short,
I
am
happy
to
be
here
on
this
auspicious
occasion
and
I
take
much
pleasure
in
kindly
awarding
the
prizes,
consisting
of
the
handsome
books
you
see
laid
out
on
that
table.
As
Shakespeare
says,
there
are
sermons
in
books,
stones
in
the
running
brooks,
or,
rather,
the
other
way
about,
and
there
you
have
it
in
a
nutshell.”
