The Code of the Woosters, chapter 1, the antique shop, late morning, in fog
At the antique shop Sir Watkyn takes Bertie for a reformed bag-snatcher, catches him with his umbrella, and when Bertie trips over the cat and charges out with the cow-creamer, he and Roderick yell for the police and Bertie bolts.
The text is on its way.
Aside, months before Bertie reflects he paid his debt to Society with the fiver Bassett fined him.
