Talked about, but not there

1. At dinner as Gussie, Bertie hears the aunts condemn Corky's cross-talk act and the absent Mr Wooster, resolves to drop out of the act, flops with a story about two deaf men, and is left alone with Esmond Haddock over the port.Chapters 5–6, the dining room at Deverill Hall, as a song
2. A frosty Silversmith brings the morning tea and says the late-night arrival was 'Mr Wooster', leaving Bertie baffled until Jeeves himself walks in with a breakfast tray.Chapters 7–8, Deverill Hall, as this song
3. Bertie copies out the letter, posts it at the post office and is at once hailed by Corky.Chapters 11–12, the post office, as hunting song
4. At the village concert the Kegley-Bassingtons and George's 'Ben Battle' are endured, Catsmeat and Gussie's Pat and Mike act dies, and Esmond's hunting song brings the house down until the standees chant him back on over Poppy's dance.Chapter 22, the village hall, as a-hunting we will go
5. Back in his room, Bertie hears from Gussie that his love for Corky died up the tree, tells him Madeline has been squared, and sees him dash off to Wimbledon just before Esmond Haddock comes in.Chapters 24–25, Bertie's room at Deverill Hall, as my song
