Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse

However,
on
consideration,
I
saw
that
there
was
nothing
to
be
gained
by
trying
to
lead
up
to
it
gently.
It
is
never
any
use
beating
about
the
b.
“Jeeves,”
I
said,
“may
I
speak
frankly?”
“Certainly,
sir.”
“What
I
have
to
say
may
wound
you.”
“Not
at
all,
sir.”
“Well,
then,
I
have
been
having
a
chat
with
Mr.
Fink-Nottle,
and
he
has
been
telling
me
about
this
Mephistopheles
scheme
of
yours.”
“Yes,
sir?”
“Now
let
me
get
it
straight.
If
I
follow
your
reasoning
correctly,
you
think
that,
stimulated
by
being
upholstered
throughout
in
scarlet
tights,
Mr.
Fink-Nottle,
on
encountering
the
adored
object,
will
vibrate
his
tail
and
generally
let
himself
go
with
a
whoop.”
“I
am
of
opinion
that
he
will
lose
much
of
his
normal
diffidence,
sir.”
“I
don’t
agree
with
you,
Jeeves.”
“No,
sir?”
“No.
In
fact,
not
to
put
too
fine
a
point
upon
it,
I
consider
that
of
all
the
dashed
silly,
drivelling
ideas
I
ever
heard
in
my
puff
this
is
the
most
blithering
and
futile.
It
won’t
work.
Not
a
chance.
All
you
have
done
is
to
subject
Mr.
Fink-Nottle
to
the
nameless
horrors
of
a
fancy-dress
ball
for
nothing.
And
this
is
not
the
first
time
this
sort
of
thing
has
happened.
To
be
quite
candid,
Jeeves,
I
have
frequently
noticed
before
now
a
tendency
or
disposition
on
your
part
to
become--what’s
the
word?”
“I
could
not
say,
sir.”
“Eloquent?
No,
it’s
not
eloquent.
Elusive?
No,
it’s
not
elusive.
It’s
on
the
tip
of
my
tongue.
Begins
with
an
‘e’
and
means
being
a
jolly
sight
too
clever.”
