“In
that
case,
move
elsewhere.”
But
on
arrival
at
the
room,
it
transpired
that
Tuppy,
if
anywhere,
was
infesting
some
other
portion
of
the
house.
Gussie
shot
in,
and
I
heard
the
key
turn.
And
feeling
that
there
was
no
more
that
I
could
do
in
that
quarter,
I
returned
to
the
dining-room
for
further
fruit
salad
and
a
quiet
think.
And
I
had
barely
filled
my
plate
when
the
door
opened
and
Aunt
Dahlia
came
in.
She
sank
into
a
chair,
looking
a
bit
shopworn.
“Give
me
a
drink,
Bertie.”
“What
sort?”
“Any
sort,
so
long
as
it’s
strong.”
Approach
Bertram
Wooster
along
these
lines,
and
you
catch
him
at
his
best.
St.
Bernard
dogs
doing
the
square
thing
by
Alpine
travellers
could
not
have
bustled
about
more
assiduously.
I
filled
the
order,
and
for
some
moments
nothing
was
to
be
heard
but
the
sloshing
sound
of
an
aunt
restoring
her
tissues.
“Shove
it
down,
Aunt
Dahlia,”
I
said
sympathetically.
“These
things
take
it
out
of
one,
don’t
they?
You’ve
had
a
toughish
time,
no
doubt,
soothing
Anatole,”
I
proceeded,
helping
myself
to
anchovy
paste
on
toast.
“Everything
pretty
smooth
now,
I
trust?”
She
gazed
at
me
in
a
long,
lingering
sort
of
way,
her
brow
wrinkled
as
if
in
thought.
“Attila,”
she
said
at
length.
“That’s
the
name.
Attila,
the
Hun.”
“Eh?”
“I
was
trying
to
think
who
you
reminded
me
of.
Somebody
who
went
about
strewing
ruin
and
desolation
and
breaking
up
homes
which,
until
he
came
along,
had
been
happy
and
peaceful.
Attila
is
the
man.
It’s
amazing.”
she
said,
drinking
me
in
once
more.
“To
look
at
you,
one
would
think
you
were
just
an
ordinary
sort
of
amiable
idiot--certifiable,
perhaps,
but
quite
harmless.
Yet,
in
reality,
you
are
worse
a
scourge
than
the
Black
Death.
I
tell
you,
Bertie,
when
I
contemplate
you
I
seem
to
come
up
against
all
the
underlying
sorrow
and
horror
of
life
with
such
a
thud
that
I
feel
as
if
I
had
walked
into
a
lamp
post.”
