Right Ho, Jeeves
·
P. G. Wodehouse
63
On
the
contrary,
I
was
heart
and
soul
in
favour
of
healing
the
breach
and
rendering
everything
hotsy-totsy
once
more
between
these
two
young
sundered
blighters.
You
will
have
gleaned
that
from
my
remarks
to
Aunt
Dahlia,
and
if
you
had
been
present
at
this
moment
and
had
seen
the
kindly
commiserating
look
I
gave
Tuppy,
you
would
have
gleaned
it
still
more.
It
was
one
of
those
searching,
melting
looks,
and
was
accompanied
by
the
hearty
clasp
of
the
right
hand
and
the
gentle
laying
of
the
left
on
the
collar-bone.
“Well,
Tuppy,
old
man,”
I
said.
“How
are
you,
old
man?”
My
commiseration
deepened
as
I
spoke
the
words,
for
there
had
been
no
lighting
up
of
the
eye,
no
answering
pressure
of
the
palm,
no
sign
whatever,
in
short,
of
any
disposition
on
his
part
to
do
Spring
dances
at
the
sight
of
an
old
friend.
The
man
seemed
sandbagged.
Melancholy,
as
I
remember
Jeeves
saying
once
about
Pongo
Twistleton
when
he
was
trying
to
knock
off
smoking,
had
marked
him
for
her
own.
Not
that
I
was
surprised,
of
course.
In
the
circs.,
no
doubt,
a
certain
moodiness
was
only
natural.
I
released
the
hand,
ceased
to
knead
the
shoulder,
and,
producing
the
old
case,
offered
him
a
cigarette.
He
took
it
dully.
“Are
you
here,
Bertie?”
he
asked.
“Yes,
I’m
here.”
“Just
passing
through,
or
come
to
stay?”
I
thought
for
a
moment.
I
might
have
told
him
that
I
had
arrived
at
Brinkley
Court
with
the
express
intention
of
bringing
Angela
and
himself
together
once
more,
of
knitting
up
the
severed
threads,
and
so
on
and
so
forth;
and
for
perhaps
half
the
time
required
for
the
lighting
of
a
gasper
I
had
almost
decided
to
do
so.
Then,
I
reflected,
better,
on
the
whole,
perhaps
not.
To
broadcast
the
fact
that
I
proposed
to
take
him
and
Angela
and
play
on
them
as
on
a
couple
of
stringed
instruments
might
have
been
injudicious.
Chaps
don’t
always
like
being
played
on
as
on
a
stringed
instrument.
