Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
191
“But
he
had
finished
his
remarks
about
G.G.
Simmons.”
“Only
temporarily,
sir.
He
resumed
them
immediately
after
your
departure.
If
you
recollect,
sir,
he
had
already
proclaimed
himself
suspicious
of
Master
Simmons’s
bona
fides,
and
he
now
proceeded
to
deliver
a
violent
verbal
attack
upon
the
young
gentleman,
asserting
that
it
was
impossible
for
him
to
have
won
the
Scripture-knowledge
prize
without
systematic
cheating
on
an
impressive
scale.
He
went
so
far
as
to
suggest
that
Master
Simmons
was
well
known
to
the
police.”
“Golly,
Jeeves!”
“Yes,
sir.
The
words
did
create
a
considerable
sensation.
The
reaction
of
those
present
to
this
accusation
I
should
describe
as
mixed.
The
young
students
appeared
pleased
and
applauded
vigorously,
but
Master
Simmons’s
mother
rose
from
her
seat
and
addressed
Mr.
Fink-Nottle
in
terms
of
strong
protest.”
“Did
Gussie
seem
taken
aback?
Did
he
recede
from
his
position?”
“No,
sir.
He
said
that
he
could
see
it
all
now,
and
hinted
at
a
guilty
liaison
between
Master
Simmons’s
mother
and
the
head
master,
accusing
the
latter
of
having
cooked
the
marks,
as
his
expression
was,
in
order
to
gain
favour
with
the
former.”
“You
don’t
mean
that?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“Egad,
Jeeves!
And
then----”
“They
sang
the
national
anthem,
sir.”
“Surely
not?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“At
a
moment
like
that?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“Well,
you
were
there
and
you
know,
of
course,
but
I
should
have
thought
the
last
thing
Gussie
and
this
woman
would
have
done
in
the
circs.
would
have
been
to
start
singing
duets.”
