Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
230
“Jeeves,”
I
said,
“a
word
with
you.”
“Sir?”
“I
am
up
against
it
a
bit,
Jeeves.”
“I
am
sorry
to
hear
that,
sir.
Can
I
be
of
any
assistance?”
“Quite
possibly
you
can,
if
you
have
not
lost
your
grip.
Tell
me
frankly,
Jeeves,
are
you
in
pretty
good
shape
mentally?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“Still
eating
plenty
of
fish?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“Then
it
may
be
all
right.
But
there
is
just
one
point
before
I
begin.
In
the
past,
when
you
have
contrived
to
extricate
self
or
some
pal
from
some
little
difficulty,
you
have
frequently
shown
a
disposition
to
take
advantage
of
my
gratitude
to
gain
some
private
end.
Those
purple
socks,
for
instance.
Also
the
plus
fours
and
the
Old
Etonian
spats.
Choosing
your
moment
with
subtle
cunning,
you
came
to
me
when
I
was
weakened
by
relief
and
got
me
to
get
rid
of
them.
And
what
I
am
saying
now
is
that
if
you
are
successful
on
the
present
occasion
there
must
be
no
rot
of
that
description
about
that
mess-jacket
of
mine.”
“Very
good,
sir.”
“You
will
not
come
to
me
when
all
is
over
and
ask
me
to
jettison
the
jacket?”
“Certainly
not,
sir.”
“On
that
understanding
then,
I
will
carry
on.
Jeeves,
I’m
engaged.”
“I
hope
you
will
be
very
happy,
sir.”
“Don’t
be
an
ass.
I’m
engaged
to
Miss
Bassett.”
“Indeed,
sir?
I
was
not
aware----”
“Nor
was
I.
It
came
as
a
complete
surprise.
However,
there
it
is.
The
official
intimation
was
in
that
note
you
brought
me.”
