Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapters 15–17, the Totleigh drawing-room, cocktail hour
Over cocktails with Pop Bassett, Bertie hears Stiffy announce there will be no dinner because the cook has eloped with Gussie Fink-Nottle.
The text is on its way.
Aside, when Gussie got engaged to Madeline Sir Watkyn was so appalled on being introduced to Gussie as his future son-in-law that he sat in a corner refusing to speak.
Aside, in Aunt Dahlia's hunting days Sportsmen Aunt Dahlia rebuked for riding over hounds went about in a stupor for months.
Aside, in the past Aunt Agatha has gone on calling Bertie names long after breath should have given out.
Aside, a year or two before Aunt Agatha's son Thos nearly got sacked from school for breaking out at night to shy for coconuts, and only by oversight was Bertie not blamed.
