Jeeves in the Offing, chapter 5, the lawn, teatime, same afternoon
Over tea Mrs Cream declares the butler Swordfish (really Sir Roderick Glossop) a crook after Uncle Tom's silver, Bobbie refuses to let Bertie flee Brinkley, and Bertie resolves to wire Aunt Dahlia at Eastbourne.
The text is on its way.
Aside, years before Bobbie is fond of Uncle Tom because he is the living image of a wire-haired terrier she once loved.
Aside, some time before Bertie recalls hearing Uncle Tom on silver for hours and once stealing an eighteenth-century cow-creamer for him.
Present: Bertie Wooster, Bobbie Wickham, Mrs Cream, Phyllis Mills, Sir Roderick Glossop
Also there: the cucumber sandwich
