Scenes they are in

1. Back at Brinkley, Aunt Dahlia rages that Tom has carried Spode off to look at his silver before she could work her scheme, savages the over-solicitous Percy, and leaves; Percy goes to tell Stilton Bertie is back, and Stilton arrives as Bertie grips the cosh.Chapters 16–17, the hall, as a pipterino
2. Stilton goes off to show Daphne the grounds, and Bertie naps in his room until he wakes remembering the cosh.Chapter 17, Bertie's room at Brinkley
3. At breakfast a beaming Stilton thanks Bertie for freeing him from Florence and leaves to go rowing with Daphne, then Mrs. Trotter reads that Robert Blenkinsop has been knighted and orders Trotter to refuse any knighthood, wrecking Aunt Dahlia's hold on him, just as Seppings brings in a pearl necklace.Chapters 20–22, the Brinkley dining-room

Talked about, but not there

1. Over kippers at the Mottled Oyster Bertie fails to reconcile Florence with Stilton, and when the club is raided she bolts and Bertie trips the pursuing constable and is arrested.Chapter 5, the Mottled Oyster
2. Bertie arrives at Brinkley and hands Aunt Dahlia her necklace; she explains she bought the Morehead serial to salt the mine for Trotter, won't say how she got the money from Uncle Tom, blames Ma Trotter for Trotter's stalling, throws her Agatha Christie at Bertie for singing, and introduces him to a reproachful Percy before sending him out to cheer Percy up.Chapter 9, Aunt Dahlia's den
3. Locked in his room, Bertie repels Stilton through the keyhole, sends Jeeves for a strong whisky-and-soda, and is then invaded by an agitated Aunt Dahlia demanding Jeeves to save her.Chapters 11–12, Bertie's room at Brinkley
4. Aunt Dahlia triumphantly tells Bertie how, finding Spode no longer owns Eulalie Sœurs, she coshed him and got her necklace back, and Bertie realises the necklace he took is Mrs. Trotter's and must go back in the safe.Chapter 18, Aunt Dahlia's den
