It isn't often that you find an entire group of your fellow-humans happy in this world; but our little circle was certainly an example of the fact that it can be done. We were all full of beans. Everything went absolutely right from the start. Jeeves was happy, partly because he loves to exercise his giant brain, and partly because he was having a corking time among the bright lights.
"Ted, you better drive," he said. "Kind of all in after that spiel. Well, Paul, how'd it go? Did I get 'em?" "Bully! Corking! You had a lot of pep." Mrs. Babbitt worshiped, "Oh, it was fine! So clear and interesting, and such nice ideas. When I hear you orating I realize I don't appreciate how profoundly you think and what a splendid brain and vocabulary you have. Just splendid."
Sempronius, who had just appeared, looking something like a ringdove, with a small circle round each eye: the result of his constant corking. ‘Of course we see you on Thursday.’ ‘Of course, of course, my dear boy.’ ‘What a pity it is your nephew didn’t think of making you prompter, Mr. Balderstone!’ whispered Mrs. Joseph Porter; ‘you would have been invaluable.’
It comes, and I put it aside to read " "Well, it was a corking number. Bill's been asserting for months, you know, that the trouble isn't any more in any special class, it's because of misunderstanding everywhere.
He succeeded in producing irresistible effects, and the whole was in the latest style. They said, "Ah!" and "Oh!" and opened their eyes wide. "Bravo! A sure success! A corking funny idea!"

I went to sleep, under the stars, to the lullaby of a corking good orchestra. The only drawback was that a spooning couple who were engineering a 'petting party, almost sat down on my head, there in the darkness. Not that I'd have minded being a settee for them. But they might have told one of the watchmen about my being there. And I'd have had to hunt other sleeping quarters."
"He's been in America and understands the etiquette of red fire. And you remember he said he knew personally all the captains on the Channel boats. Probably he went up to the bridge and got somebody to acknowledge our salute! Isn't that simply corking of him?" "That was surely meant for us," agreed the pleased Frances. "Oh, how long shall we have to wait before we see them?"
And he smiled in a deeply modest and masterful way and said 'But, really, that's nothing nothing at all, I assure you, when she said about how he was a corking athlete and then kept still to see if she was going on to say more about it. But she didn't, having the God-given wisdom to leave him wanting. And then he would be laughing again at her poor-little-me horse talk.
Ben pretended not to hear this either, and started again on the dear old times. I says to myself I guess this one is a real New Yorker all right. Lon Prince now says what's the matter with going to some corking good show because nothing good has come to Red Gap since the Parisian Blond Widows over a year ago and he's eager for entertainment. Ben says "Fine!
"That's corking stuff, do you know it?" Archibald was asking. Louise asked, "How old is he?" "Twenty-three." "He is young to have learned all that " "All what, Louise?" Archibald asked.
