Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
40
Indeed,
for
an
instant
I
had
half
a
mind
to
withdraw
from
the
case
and
hand
it
back
to
Jeeves.
But
the
pride
of
the
Woosters
restrained
me.
When
we
Woosters
put
our
hands
to
the
plough,
we
do
not
readily
sheathe
the
sword.
Besides,
after
that
business
of
the
mess-jacket,
anything
resembling
weakness
would
have
been
fatal.
“I
suppose
you
realize,
Jeeves,”
I
said,
for
though
one
dislikes
to
rub
it
in,
these
things
have
to
be
pointed
out,
“that
all
this
was
your
fault?”
“Sir?”
“It’s
no
good
saying
‘Sir?’
You
know
it
was.
If
you
had
not
insisted
on
his
going
to
that
dance--a
mad
project,
as
I
spotted
from
the
first--this
would
not
have
happened.”
“Yes,
sir,
but
I
confess
I
did
not
anticipate----”
“Always
anticipate
everything,
Jeeves,”
I
said,
a
little
sternly.
“It
is
the
only
way.
Even
if
you
had
allowed
him
to
wear
a
Pierrot
costume,
things
would
not
have
panned
out
as
they
did.
A
Pierrot
costume
has
pockets.
However,”
I
went
on
more
kindly,
“we
need
not
go
into
that
now.
If
all
this
has
shown
you
what
comes
of
going
about
the
place
in
scarlet
tights,
that
is
something
gained.
Gussie
waits
without,
you
say?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“Then
shoot
him
in,
and
I
will
see
what
I
can
do
for
him.”

Gussie,
on
arrival,
proved
to
be
still
showing
traces
of
his
grim
experience.
The
face
was
pale,
the
eyes
gooseberry-like,
the
ears
drooping,
and
the
whole
aspect
that
of
a
man
who
has
passed
through
the
furnace
and
been
caught
in
the
machinery.
I
hitched
myself
up
a
bit
higher
on
the
pillows
and
gazed
at
him
narrowly.
It
was
a
moment,
I
could
see,
when
first
aid
was
required,
and
I
prepared
to
get
down
to
cases.
