Much Obliged, Jeeves, chapters 11–12, the Brinkley drawing-room, afternoon
Aunt Dahlia hurls a Rex Stout at Bertie for failing, is herself turned away by Bastable, and then Jeeves arrives to reveal he slipped Bingley a Mickey Finn and took back the club book, whereupon she sets off to tackle L. P. Runkle.
The text is on its way.
Aside, an hour before Jeeves explains how he drugged Bingley's drink and found the book in a drawer of the desk.
Aside, years before Aunt Agatha once made Bertie take Thos to Hamlet at the Old Vic.
Aside, years before Runkle used the small print in a contract to rob Tuppy's father of the proceeds of his invention.
Aside, some years before Bingley once worked for Runkle for several months, including a trip to America.
