Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapters 6–7, the Totleigh dining-room, that evening
At a sombre dinner Bertie admires Sir Watkyn's new black amber statuette, bought from Plank and worth a thousand pounds, offends him by calling it soapstone, and slips off to his room afterwards.
The text is on its way.
Aside, from time to time Aunt Agatha makes Bertie take Thos to Russian plays at the Old Vic to improve his mind.
Aside, the day before Bertie lunched Emerald at the Ritz wearing an Alpine hat, which Jeeves still disapproves of.
Aside, habitually Gussie's prodigious appetite at the Drones, where a tapeworm would raise its hat to him.
