Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
201
“Now
what?”
I
said,
as
nonchalantly
as
I
could
manage.
“Why
was
the
door
locked?”
demanded
Tuppy.
I
was
in
pretty
good
eyebrow-raising
form
by
now,
so
I
gave
him
a
touch
of
it.
“Is
one
to
have
no
privacy,
Glossop?”
I
said
coldly.
“I
instructed
Jeeves
to
lock
the
door
because
I
was
about
to
disrobe.”
“A
likely
story!”
said
Tuppy,
and
I’m
not
sure
he
didn’t
add
“Forsooth!”
“You
needn’t
try
to
make
me
believe
that
you’re
afraid
people
are
going
to
run
excursion
trains
to
see
you
in
your
underwear.
You
locked
that
door
because
you’ve
got
the
snake
Fink-Nottle
concealed
in
here.
I
suspected
it
the
moment
I’d
left,
and
I
decided
to
come
back
and
investigate.
I’m
going
to
search
this
room
from
end
to
end.
I
believe
he’s
in
that
cupboard....
What’s
in
this
cupboard?”
“Just
clothes,”
I
said,
having
another
stab
at
the
nonchalant,
though
extremely
dubious
as
to
whether
it
would
come
off.
“The
usual
wardrobe
of
the
English
gentleman
paying
a
country-house
visit.”
“You’re
lying!”
Well,
I
wouldn’t
have
been
if
he
had
only
waited
a
minute
before
speaking,
because
the
words
were
hardly
out
of
his
mouth
before
Gussie
was
out
of
the
cupboard.
I
have
commented
on
the
speed
with
which
he
had
gone
in.
It
was
as
nothing
to
the
speed
with
which
he
emerged.
There
was
a
sort
of
whir
and
blur,
and
he
was
no
longer
with
us.
I
think
Tuppy
was
surprised.
In
fact,
I’m
sure
he
was.
Despite
the
confidence
with
which
he
had
stated
his
view
that
the
cupboard
contained
Fink-Nottles,
it
plainly
disconcerted
him
to
have
the
chap
fizzing
out
at
him
like
this.
He
gargled
sharply,
and
jumped
back
about
five
feet.
The
next
moment,
however,
he
had
recovered
his
poise
and
was
galloping
down
the
corridor
in
pursuit.
It
only
needed
Aunt
Dahlia
after
them,
shouting
“Yoicks!”
or
whatever
is
customary
on
these
occasions,
to
complete
the
resemblance
to
a
brisk
run
with
the
Quorn.
