Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse

Consider
the
facts,
I
mean.
It
was
only
a
few
hours
since
this
aunt
and
I
had
parted,
after
being
in
constant
association
for
nearly
two
months.
And
yet
here
she
was--with
my
farewell
kiss
still
lingering
on
her
cheek,
so
to
speak--pleading
for
another
reunion.
Bertram
Wooster
is
not
accustomed
to
this
gluttonous
appetite
for
his
society.
Ask
anyone
who
knows
me,
and
they
will
tell
you
that
after
two
months
of
my
company,
what
the
normal
person
feels
is
that
that
will
about
do
for
the
present.
Indeed,
I
have
known
people
who
couldn’t
stick
it
out
for
more
than
a
few
days.
Before
sitting
down
to
the
well-cooked,
therefore,
I
sent
this
reply:
Perplexed.
Explain.
Bertie.
To
this
I
received
an
answer
during
the
after-luncheon
sleep:
What
on
earth
is
there
to
be
perplexed
about,
ass?
Come
at
once.
Travers.
Three
cigarettes
and
a
couple
of
turns
about
the
room,
and
I
had
my
response
ready:
How
do
you
mean
come
at
once?
Regards.
Bertie.
I
append
the
comeback:
I
mean
come
at
once,
you
maddening
half-wit.
What
did
you
think
I
meant?
Come
at
once
or
expect
an
aunt’s
curse
first
post
tomorrow.
Love.
Travers.
I
then
dispatched
the
following
message,
wishing
to
get
everything
quite
clear:
When
you
say
“Come”
do
you
mean
“Come
to
Brinkley
Court”?
And
when
you
say
“At
once”
do
you
mean
“At
once”?
Fogged.
At
a
loss.
All
the
best.
Bertie.
I
sent
this
one
off
on
my
way
to
the
Drones,
where
I
spent
a
restful
afternoon
throwing
cards
into
a
top-hat
with
some
of
the
better
element.
Returning
in
the
evening
hush,
I
found
the
answer
waiting
for
me:
