Thank You, Jeeves, chapter 13, Seaview Cottage, same night
Unable to wash off the polish, Bertie finds a drunken Brinkley wrecking the cottage, is chased into the bedroom by him with a carving knife as the Devil, keeps quiet when Sergeant Voules arrives, and flees through the window after Brinkley upsets a lamp and sets the cottage ablaze, leaving the banjolele behind.
The text is on its way.
Aside, once, years before Bertie recalls a newspaper puzzle asking what you would save from a burning house.
