Talked about, but not there

  1. 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.Chapter 13, Seaview Cottage, as a carving knife
  2. Softening towards Glossop on the way, Bertie creeps up to the Dower House, finds the drunken Brinkley singing hymns inside, and hears a frightful rampage end with someone bursting out of the back door.Chapter 16, the Dower House, as carving knife
  3. Glossop, thrown out by Brinkley after a nightmare among Seabury's animals, makes peace with the equally blacked-up Bertie and goes off to clean himself with petrol in Bertie's garage while Bertie heads for the summer-house.Chapter 16, the Dower House, as carving knife
  4. Bertie creeps into Chuffy's study to steal his breakfast, hides behind the desk, finds Jeeves telephoning for the missing Sir Roderick, tells him Glossop has gone off in a petrol cleanse and that they are now friends, and dives under the desk again as Stoker is announced.Chapters 17–18, Chuffy's study, as chopper
  5. Over breakfast after his acquittal Jeeves reveals that he faked the cable about the contested will, and, since he will not serve a married man, asks to come back to Bertie, who gratefully accepts.Chapter 22, the small morning-room, as carving knife
