It was at this point that I felt the need of getting a second opinion. I pressed the bell. "Jeeves," I said, "a V-shaped rumminess has manifested itself from the direction of Worcestershire. Read these," I said, handing him the papers in the case. He scanned them. "What do you make of it, Jeeves?" "I think Mrs. Travers wishes you to come at once, sir." "You gather that too, do you?" "Yes, sir."

By Jove, Jeeves, if I only fawn on him a bit, so that he sends back a favourable report to head-quarters, I may yet be able to get back to England in time for Goodwood. Now is certainly the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party, Jeeves. We must rally round and cosset this cove in no uncertain manner." "Yes, sir."

But on the morrow all those telegrams started coming in, and I confess that for twenty-four hours I didn't give the poor chap a thought, having problems of my own to contend with. The first of the telegram arrived shortly after noon, and Jeeves brought it in with the before-luncheon snifter.

That night I saw them dining together with every indication of relish, their differences made up and the lovelight once more in their eyes. That shows you, Jeeves." "Yes, sir." "I expect precisely similar results from my Cousin Angela when I start roasting Tuppy.
