Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
231
“Odd,
sir.”
“What
is?”
“Odd,
sir,
that
the
contents
of
that
note
should
have
been
as
you
describe.
It
seemed
to
me
that
Miss
Bassett,
when
she
handed
me
the
communication,
was
far
from
being
in
a
happy
frame
of
mind.”
“She
is
far
from
being
in
a
happy
frame
of
mind.
You
don’t
suppose
she
really
wants
to
marry
me,
do
you?
Pshaw,
Jeeves!
Can’t
you
see
that
this
is
simply
another
of
those
bally
gestures
which
are
rapidly
rendering
Brinkley
Court
a
hell
for
man
and
beast?
Dash
all
gestures,
is
my
view.”
“Yes,
sir.”
“Well,
what’s
to
be
done?”
“You
feel
that
Miss
Bassett,
despite
what
has
occurred,
still
retains
a
fondness
for
Mr.
Fink-Nottle,
sir?”
“She’s
pining
for
him.”
“In
that
case,
sir,
surely
the
best
plan
would
be
to
bring
about
a
reconciliation
between
them.”
“How?
You
see.
You
stand
silent
and
twiddle
the
fingers.
You
are
stumped.”
“No,
sir.
If
I
twiddled
my
fingers,
it
was
merely
to
assist
thought.”
“Then
continue
twiddling.”
“It
will
not
be
necessary,
sir.”
“You
don’t
mean
you’ve
got
a
bite
already?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“You
astound
me,
Jeeves.
Let’s
have
it.”
“The
device
which
I
have
in
mind
is
one
that
I
have
already
mentioned
to
you,
sir.”
“When
did
you
ever
mention
any
device
to
me?”
“If
you
will
throw
your
mind
back
to
the
evening
of
our
arrival,
sir.
You
were
good
enough
to
inquire
of
me
if
I
had
any
plan
to
put
forward
with
a
view
to
bringing
Miss
Angela
and
Mr.
Glossop
together,
and
I
ventured
to
suggest----”
