Scenes they are in

1. 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 Miss Poppy Kegley-Bassington

Talked about, but not there

1. Outside the inn Gussie, in his green beard, gulps brandy before going to steal Corky's dog from Dobbs's cottage, confident Dobbs is at the concert; then Jeeves returns to say Esmond will deputize and that Dobbs has gone home to his cottage.Chapters 23–24, the Goose and Cowslip, as Miss Kegley-Bassington
2. 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
