Bertie goes to a bookshop for Jeeves's Spinoza, musing on Lord Worplesdon, is handed Spindrift by a baffled assistant, and suddenly meets his former fiancée Florence Craye.
The text is on its way.

Aside, not long before Bertie and Florence were once engaged, and he escaped only when it was broken off at the eleventh hour.
