Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapter 11, the library, morning
Bertie calls on Bingley at 5 Ormond Crescent to ask for the club book, but Bingley patronizes him, boasts of how he stole it to protect his bets on McCorkadale, and Bertie leaves having achieved nothing.
The text is on its way.
Aside, before Bingley's uncle owned a chain of shops and left him his money; Bertie suspects poison and a forged will.
Aside, at school Bertie recalls hesitating at headmaster Arnold Abney's study door, dreading a caning.
Aside, at Chuffnell Regis, years before Bingley blames Bertie's drinking for the cottage fire at Chuffnell Regis that Bingley himself started.
Aside, days before Bingley tells how he slipped the club book into his briefcase while the Junior Ganymede secretary was at lunch.
