The Code of the Woosters, chapters 11–12, Bertie's room at Totleigh, late night
Jeeves tells how a thief took the cow-creamer while Stinker, waiting in the dark for Bertie, punched Oates on the nose, and Oates now plans to search Bertie's room, just as Aunt Dahlia rushes in and thrusts the cow-creamer into Bertie's hands.
The text is on its way.
Aside, minutes before Jeeves's account of Oates stepping out to smoke, the cow-creamer vanishing, and dim figure B striking him on the nose.
Aside, at the age of six Bertie once hit his nurse over the head with a porringer, his only lapse in chivalry towards women.
Aside, just before Gussie tells how he found Sir Watkyn reading the notebook in his underwear and was chased downstairs by him with a hunting crop.
Aside, schooldays Bertie recalls a similar shock with the Rev. Aubrey Upjohn.
Aside, her hunting days Aunt Dahlia's voice could carry across two ploughed fields and a couple of spinneys.
