Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse

“What
has
he
got
against
Pierrots?”
“I
don’t
think
he
objects
to
Pierrots
as
Pierrots.
But
in
my
case
he
thought
a
Pierrot
wouldn’t
be
adequate.”
“I
don’t
follow
that.”
“He
said
that
the
costume
of
Pierrot,
while
pleasing
to
the
eye,
lacked
the
authority
of
the
Mephistopheles
costume.”
“I
still
don’t
get
it.”
“Well,
it’s
a
matter
of
psychology,
he
said.”
There
was
a
time
when
a
remark
like
that
would
have
had
me
snookered.
But
long
association
with
Jeeves
has
developed
the
Wooster
vocabulary
considerably.
Jeeves
has
always
been
a
whale
for
the
psychology
of
the
individual,
and
I
now
follow
him
like
a
bloodhound
when
he
snaps
it
out
of
the
bag.
“Oh,
psychology?”
“Yes.
Jeeves
is
a
great
believer
in
the
moral
effect
of
clothes.
He
thinks
I
might
be
emboldened
in
a
striking
costume
like
this.
He
said
a
Pirate
Chief
would
be
just
as
good.
In
fact,
a
Pirate
Chief
was
his
first
suggestion,
but
I
objected
to
the
boots.”
I
saw
his
point.
There
is
enough
sadness
in
life
without
having
fellows
like
Gussie
Fink-Nottle
going
about
in
sea
boots.
“And
are
you
emboldened?”
“Well,
to
be
absolutely
accurate,
Bertie,
old
man,
no.”
A
gust
of
compassion
shook
me.
After
all,
though
we
had
lost
touch
a
bit
of
recent
years,
this
man
and
I
had
once
thrown
inked
darts
at
each
other.
“Gussie,”
I
said,
“take
an
old
friend’s
advice,
and
don’t
go
within
a
mile
of
this
binge.”
“But
it’s
my
last
chance
of
seeing
her.
She’s
off
tomorrow
to
stay
with
some
people
in
the
country.
Besides,
you
don’t
know.”
