Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse

The
audience
seemed
to
agree
with
him.
The
point
went
big.
The
voice
that
had
said,
“Hear,
hear”
said
“Hear,
hear”
again,
and
my
corn
chandler
hammered
the
floor
vigorously
with
a
large-size
walking
stick.
“Well,
boys,”
resumed
Gussie,
having
shot
his
cuffs
and
smirked
horribly,
“this
is
the
end
of
the
summer
term,
and
many
of
you,
no
doubt,
are
leaving
the
school.
And
I
don’t
blame
you,
because
there’s
a
froust
in
here
you
could
cut
with
a
knife.
You
are
going
out
into
the
great
world.
Soon
many
of
you
will
be
walking
along
Broadway.
And
what
I
want
to
impress
upon
you
is
that,
however
much
you
may
suffer
from
adenoids,
you
must
all
use
every
effort
to
prevent
yourselves
becoming
pessimists
and
talking
rot
like
old
Tom
Travers.
There
in
the
second
row.
The
fellow
with
a
face
rather
like
a
walnut.”
He
paused
to
allow
those
wishing
to
do
so
to
refresh
themselves
with
another
look
at
Uncle
Tom,
and
I
found
myself
musing
in
some
little
perplexity.
Long
association
with
the
members
of
the
Drones
has
put
me
pretty
well
in
touch
with
the
various
ways
in
which
an
overdose
of
the
blushful
Hippocrene
can
take
the
individual,
but
I
had
never
seen
anyone
react
quite
as
Gussie
was
doing.
There
was
a
snap
about
his
work
which
I
had
never
witnessed
before,
even
in
Barmy
Fotheringay-Phipps
on
New
Year’s
Eve.
Jeeves,
when
I
discussed
the
matter
with
him
later,
said
it
was
something
to
do
with
inhibitions,
if
I
caught
the
word
correctly,
and
the
suppression
of,
I
think
he
said,
the
ego.
What
he
meant,
I
gathered,
was
that,
owing
to
the
fact
that
Gussie
had
just
completed
a
five
years’
stretch
of
blameless
seclusion
among
the
newts,
all
the
goofiness
which
ought
to
have
been
spread
out
thin
over
those
five
years
and
had
been
bottled
up
during
that
period
came
to
the
surface
on
this
occasion
in
a
lump--or,
if
you
prefer
to
put
it
that
way,
like
a
tidal
wave.
