Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
181
It
went
well,
and
I
wasn’t
surprised.
I
couldn’t
quite
follow
some
of
it,
but
anybody
could
see
that
it
was
real
ripe
stuff,
and
I
was
amazed
that
even
the
course
of
treatment
he
had
been
taking
could
have
rendered
so
normally
tongue-tied
a
dumb
brick
as
Gussie
capable
of
it.
It
just
shows,
what
any
member
of
Parliament
will
tell
you,
that
if
you
want
real
oratory,
the
preliminary
noggin
is
essential.
Unless
pie-eyed,
you
cannot
hope
to
grip.
“Gentlemen,”
said
Gussie,
“I
mean
ladies
and
gentlemen
and,
of
course,
boys,
what
a
beautiful
world
this
is.
A
beautiful
world,
full
of
happiness
on
every
side.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
story.
Two
Irishmen,
Pat
and
Mike,
were
walking
along
Broadway,
and
one
said
to
the
other,
‘Begorrah,
the
race
is
not
always
to
the
swift,’
and
the
other
replied,
‘Faith
and
begob,
education
is
a
drawing
out,
not
a
putting
in.’”
I
must
say
it
seemed
to
me
the
rottenest
story
I
had
ever
heard,
and
I
was
surprised
that
Jeeves
should
have
considered
it
worth
while
shoving
into
a
speech.
However,
when
I
taxed
him
with
this
later,
he
said
that
Gussie
had
altered
the
plot
a
good
deal,
and
I
dare
say
that
accounts
for
it.
At
any
rate,
that
was
the
conte
as
Gussie
told
it,
and
when
I
say
that
it
got
a
very
fair
laugh,
you
will
understand
what
a
popular
favourite
he
had
become
with
the
multitude.
There
might
be
a
bearded
bloke
or
so
on
the
platform
and
a
small
section
in
the
second
row
who
were
wishing
the
speaker
would
conclude
his
remarks
and
resume
his
seat,
but
the
audience
as
a
whole
was
for
him
solidly.
