Jeeves in the Offing, chapters 12–14, Aunt Dahlia's den, same evening
Back at Brinkley, Bertie learns from Aunt Dahlia that Uncle Tom sold Wilbert the cow-creamer, then Bobbie icily cuts Kipper, who confesses he got engaged to Phyllis as a ruse against Wilbert and was caught kissing her.
The text is on its way.
Aside, in her hunting days Aunt Dahlia's view-halloo, learned in the hunting field, could lift Quorn and Pytchley riders out of their saddles.
Aside, days before Bertie recounts how Bobbie's Times announcement provoked Kipper's Otway-style letter, which she opened because he told her not to.
Aside, earlier at Brinkley Bertie tells how Mrs Cream twice caught him searching Wilbert's room, once with a chair round his neck and once under the dressing-table.
Aside, years before Bobbie laughed heartily when a rake jumped up and hit Bertie on the nose.
Aside, some time before Jeeves once lugged Bertie to the Louvre to view the weary-eyelidded woman in a painting.
Aside, boyhood Bertie recalls that he and Kipper endured dark days together at Upjohn's Malvern House, Bramley-on-Sea.
Aside, weeks before Bobbie tells how Kipper gave her the review proof to drop at the office and she added the bit about the sausages.
