Talked about, but not there

1. Biggar tells Jill that Bill is a fortune hunter courting Mrs Spottsworth, then Monica opens the dower chest to show off its costumes and finds Patch Perkins's check coat, and Biggar draws out the black patch and demands a word with Bill.Chapters 10–11, the living room
2. Pacing the lawn and kicking a frog, Captain Biggar broods that only money keeps him from proposing to Mrs Spottsworth, and is struck by an inspiration about her pendant.Chapter 12, the lawn
3. Biggar catches Bill and Jeeves from behind and proposes that Bill 'borrow' Mrs Spottsworth's pendant to pawn for a bet on Ballymore, and after telling how he once bought it from a beachcomber in Shanghai and gave it to her, wins Bill's agreement.Chapters 12–13, the living room
4. Jeeves tips Ballymore, tells Rory and Monica that Jill has broken off with Bill, Rory's tactless consolation enrages Monica, and Jeeves advises the despairing Bill to repay Mrs Spottsworth for the pendant by selling her Rowcester Abbey.Chapter 18, Jeeves's pantry
5. Jeeves, carrying the champagne through the living room, meets Jill coming in through the french window.Chapters 18–21, the living room
