To complete the character-study of Mr. Worple, he was a man of extremely | |||
uncertain temper, and his general tendency was to think that Corky was a poor | |||
chump and that whatever step he took in any direction on his own account, was | |||
just another proof of his innate idiocy. I should imagine Jeeves feels very | |||
much the same about me. | |||
{%- endmark %} | |||
So when Corky trickled into my apartment one afternoon, shooing a girl in | |||
front of him, and said, "Bertie, I want you to meet my fiancée, Miss Singer," | |||
the aspect of the matter which hit me first was precisely the one which he had | |||
come to consult me about. The very first words I spoke were, "Corky, how about | |||
your uncle?" | |||
The poor chap gave one of those mirthless laughs. He was looking anxious and | |||
worried, like a man who has done the murder all right but can't think what the | |||
deuce to do with the body. | |||
"We're so scared, Mr. Wooster," said the girl. "We were hoping that you might | |||
suggest a way of breaking it to him." | |||
Muriel Singer was one of those very quiet, appealing girls who have a way of | |||
looking at you with their big eyes as if they thought you were the greatest | |||
thing on earth and wondered that you hadn't got on to it yet yourself. She sat | |||
there in a sort of shrinking way, looking at me as if she were saying to | |||
herself, "Oh, I do hope this great strong man isn't going to hurt me." She | |||
gave a fellow a protective kind of feeling, made him want to stroke her hand | |||
and say, "There, there, little one!" or words to that effect. She made me feel | |||
that there was nothing I wouldn't do for her. She was rather like one of those | |||
innocent-tasting American drinks which creep imperceptibly into your system so | |||
that, before you know what you're doing, you're starting out to reform the | |||
world by force if necessary and pausing on your way to tell the large man in | |||
the corner that, if he looks at you like that, you will knock his head off. | |||
What I mean is, she made me feel alert and dashing, like a jolly old | |||
knight-errant or something of that kind. I felt that I was with her in this | |||
thing to the limit. | |||
"I don't see why your uncle shouldn't be most awfully bucked," I said to | |||
Corky. "He will think Miss Singer the ideal wife for you." | |||
Corky declined to cheer up. | |||
"You don't know him. Even if he did like Muriel he wouldn't admit it. That's | |||
the sort of pig-headed guy he is. It would be a matter of principle with him | |||
to kick. All he would consider would be that I had gone and taken an important | |||
step without asking his advice, and he would raise Cain automatically. He's | |||
always done it." | |||
I strained the old bean to meet this emergency. | |||
"You want to work it so that he makes Miss Singer's acquaintance without | |||
knowing that you know her. Then you come along" | |||
"But how can I work it that way?" | |||
I saw his point. That was the catch. | |||
"There's only one thing to do," I said. | |||
"What's that?" | |||
"Leave it to Jeeves." | |||
And I rang the bell. | |||
"Sir?" said Jeeves, kind of manifesting himself. One of the rummy things about | |||
Jeeves is that, unless you watch like a hawk, you very seldom see him come | |||
into a room. He's like one of those weird chappies in India who dissolve | |||
themselves into thin air and nip through space in a sort of disembodied way | |||
and assemble the parts again just where they want them. I've got a cousin | |||
who's what they call a Theosophist, and he says he's often nearly worked the | |||
thing himself, but couldn't quite bring it off, probably owing to having fed | |||
in his boyhood on the flesh of animals slain in anger and pie. | |||
The moment I saw the man standing there, registering respectful attention, a | |||
weight seemed to roll off my mind. I felt like a lost child who spots his | |||
father in the offing. There was something about him that gave me confidence. | |||
Jeeves is a tallish man, with one of those dark, shrewd faces. His eye gleams | |||
with the light of pure intelligence. | |||
"Jeeves, we want your advice." | |||
"Very good, sir." | |||
I boiled down Corky's painful case into a few well-chosen words. | |||
"So you see what it amount to, Jeeves. We want you to suggest some way by | |||
which Mr. Worple can make Miss Singer's acquaintance without getting on to the | |||
fact that Mr. Corcoran already knows her. Understand?" | |||
"Perfectly, sir." | |||
"Well, try to think of something." | |||
"I have thought of something already, sir." | |||
"You have!" | |||
"The scheme I would suggest cannot fail of success, but it has what may seem | |||
to you a drawback, sir, in that it requires a certain financial outlay." | |||
"He means," I translated to Corky, "that he has got a pippin of an idea, but | |||
it's going to cost a bit." | |||
Naturally the poor chap's face dropped, for this seemed to dish the whole | |||
thing. But I was still under the influence of the girl's melting gaze, and I | |||
saw that this was where I started in as a knight-errant. | |||
"You can count on me for all that sort of thing, Corky," I said. "Only too | |||
glad. Carry on, Jeeves." | |||
"I would suggest, sir, that Mr. Corcoran take advantage of Mr. Worple's | |||
attachment to ornithology." | |||
"How on earth did you know that he was fond of birds?" | |||

I went and dressed sadly. It will show you pretty well how pipped I was when I | |||
tell you that I near as a toucher put on a white tie with a dinner-jacket. I | |||
sallied out for a bit of food more to pass the time than because I wanted it. | |||
It seemed brutal to be wading into the bill of fare with poor old Bicky headed | |||
for the breadline. | |||
{%- endmark %} | |||
When I got back old Chiswick had gone to bed, but Bicky was there, hunched up | |||
in an arm-chair, brooding pretty tensely, with a cigarette hanging out of the | |||
corner of his mouth and a more or less glassy stare in his eyes. He had the | |||
aspect of one who had been soaked with what the newspaper chappies call "some | |||
blunt instrument." | |||
"This is a bit thick, old thing—what!" I said. | |||
He picked up his glass and drained it feverishly, overlooking the fact that it | |||
hadn't anything in it. | |||
"I'm done, Bertie!" he said. | |||
He had another go at the glass. It didn't seem to do him any good. | |||
"If only this had happened a week later, Bertie! My next month's money was due | |||
to roll in on Saturday. I could have worked a wheeze I've been reading about | |||
in the magazine advertisements. It seems that you can make a dashed amount of | |||
money if you can only collect a few dollars and start a chicken-farm. Jolly | |||
sound scheme, Bertie! Say you buy a hen—call it one hen for the sake of | |||
argument. It lays an egg every day of the week. You sell the eggs seven for | |||
twenty-five cents. Keep of hen costs nothing. Profit practically twenty-five | |||
cents on every seven eggs. Or look at it another way: Suppose you have a dozen | |||
eggs. Each of the hens has a dozen chickens. The chickens grow up and have | |||
more chickens. Why, in no time you'd have the place covered knee-deep in hens, | |||
all laying eggs, at twenty-five cents for every seven. You'd make a fortune. | |||
Jolly life, too, keeping hens!" He had begun to get quite worked up at the | |||
thought of it, but he slopped back in his chair at this juncture with a good | |||
deal of gloom. "But, of course, it's no good," he said, "because I haven't the | |||
cash." | |||
"You've only to say the word, you know, Bicky, old top." | |||
"Thanks awfully, Bertie, but I'm not going to sponge on you." | |||
That's always the way in this world. The chappies you'd like to lend money to | |||
won't let you, whereas the chappies you don't want to lend it to will do | |||
everything except actually stand you on your head and lift the specie out of | |||
your pockets. As a lad who has always rolled tolerably free in the right | |||
stuff, I've had lots of experience of the second class. Many's the time, back | |||
in London, I've hurried along Piccadilly and felt the hot breath of the | |||
toucher on the back of my neck and heard his sharp, excited yapping as he | |||
closed in on me. I've simply spent my life scattering largesse to blighters I | |||
didn't care a hang for; yet here was I now, dripping doubloons and pieces of | |||
eight and longing to hand them over, and Bicky, poor fish, absolutely on his | |||
uppers, not taking any at any price. | |||
"Well, there's only one hope, then." | |||
"What's that?" | |||
"Jeeves." | |||
"Sir?" | |||
There was Jeeves, standing behind me, full of zeal. In this matter of | |||
shimmering into rooms the chappie is rummy to a degree. You're sitting in the | |||
old armchair, thinking of this and that, and then suddenly you look up, and | |||
there he is. He moves from point to point with as little uproar as a jelly | |||
fish. The thing startled poor old Bicky considerably. He rose from his seat | |||
like a rocketing pheasant. I'm used to Jeeves now, but often in the days when | |||
he first came to me I've bitten my tongue freely on finding him unexpectedly | |||
in my midst. | |||

Lady Malvern was a hearty, happy, healthy, overpowering sort of dashed female, | |||
not so very tall but making up for it by measuring about six feet from the | |||
O.P. to the Prompt Side. | |||
{%- endmark %} | |||
She fitted into my biggest arm-chair as if it had | |||
been built round her by someone who knew they were wearing arm-chairs tight | |||
about the hips that season. She had bright, bulging eyes and a lot of yellow | |||
hair, and when she spoke she showed about fifty-seven front teeth. She was one | |||
of those women who kind of numb a fellow's faculties. She made me feel as if I | |||
were ten years old and had been brought into the drawing-room in my Sunday | |||
clothes to say how-d'you-do. Altogether by no means the sort of thing a | |||
chappie would wish to find in his sitting-room before breakfast. | |||
Motty, the son, was about twenty-three, tall and thin and meek-looking. He had | |||
the same yellow hair as his mother, but he wore it plastered down and parted | |||
in the middle. His eyes bulged, too, but they weren't bright. They were a dull | |||
grey with pink rims. His chin gave up the struggle about half-way down, and he | |||
didn't appear to have any eyelashes. A mild, furtive, sheepish sort of | |||
blighter, in short. | |||
"Awfully glad to see you," I said. "So you've popped over, eh? Making a long | |||
stay in America?" | |||
"About a month. Your aunt gave me your address and told me to be sure and call | |||
on you." | |||
I was glad to hear this, as it showed that Aunt Agatha was beginning to come | |||
round a bit. There had been some unpleasantness a year before, when she had | |||
sent me over to New York to disentangle my Cousin Gussie from the clutches of | |||
a girl on the music-hall stage. When I tell you that by the time I had | |||
finished my operations, Gussie had not only married the girl but had gone on | |||
the stage himself, and was doing well, you'll understand that Aunt Agatha was | |||
upset to no small extent. I simply hadn't dared go back and face her, and it | |||
was a relief to find that time had healed the wound and all that sort of thing | |||
enough to make her tell her pals to look me up. What I mean is, much as I | |||
liked America, I didn't want to have England barred to me for the rest of my | |||
natural; and, believe me, England is a jolly sight too small for anyone to | |||
live in with Aunt Agatha, if she's really on the warpath. So I braced on | |||
hearing these kind words and smiled genially on the assemblage. | |||
"Your aunt said that you would do anything that was in your power to be of | |||
assistance to us." | |||
"Rather? Oh, rather! Absolutely!" | |||
"Thank you so much. I want you to put dear Motty up for a little while." | |||
I didn't get this for a moment. | |||
"Put him up? For my clubs?" | |||
"No, no! Darling Motty is essentially a home bird. Aren't you, Motty darling?" | |||
Motty, who was sucking the knob of his stick, uncorked himself. | |||
"Yes, mother," he said, and corked himself up again. | |||
"I should not like him to belong to clubs. I mean put him up here. Have him to | |||
live with you while I am away." | |||
These frightful words trickled out of her like honey. The woman simply didn't | |||
seem to understand the ghastly nature of her proposal. I gave Motty the swift | |||
east-to-west. He was sitting with his mouth nuzzling the stick, blinking at | |||
the wall. The thought of having this planted on me for an indefinite period | |||
appalled me. Absolutely appalled me, don't you know. I was just starting to | |||
say that the shot wasn't on the board at any price, and that the first sign | |||
Motty gave of trying to nestle into my little home I would yell for the | |||
police, when she went on, rolling placidly over me, as it were. | |||
There was something about this woman that sapped a chappie's will-power. | |||
"I am leaving New York by the midday train, as I have to pay a visit to | |||
Sing-Sing prison. I am extremely interested in prison conditions in America. | |||
After that I work my way gradually across to the coast, visiting the points of | |||
interest on the journey. You see, Mr. Wooster, I am in America principally on | |||
business. No doubt you read my book, India and the Indians? My publishers are | |||
anxious for me to write a companion volume on the United States. I shall not | |||
be able to spend more than a month in the country, as I have to get back for | |||
the season, but a month should be ample. I was less than a month in India, and | |||
my dear friend Sir Roger Cremorne wrote his America from Within after a stay | |||
of only two weeks. I should love to take dear Motty with me, but the poor boy | |||
gets so sick when he travels by train. I shall have to pick him up on my | |||
return." | |||
From where I sat I could see Jeeves in the dining-room, laying the | |||
breakfast-table. I wished I could have had a minute with him alone. I felt | |||
certain that he would have been able to think of some way of putting a stop to | |||
this woman. | |||
"It will be such a relief to know that Motty is safe with you, Mr. Wooster. I | |||
know what the temptations of a great city are. Hitherto dear Motty has been | |||
sheltered from them. He has lived quietly with me in the country. I know that | |||
you will look after him carefully, Mr. Wooster. He will give very little | |||
trouble." She talked about the poor blighter as if he wasn't there. Not that | |||
Motty seemed to mind. He had stopped chewing his walking-stick and was sitting | |||
there with his mouth open. "He is a vegetarian and a teetotaller and is | |||
devoted to reading. Give him a nice book and he will be quite contented." She | |||
got up. "Thank you so much, Mr. Wooster! I don't know what I should have done | |||
without your help. Come, Motty! We have just time to see a few of the sights | |||
before my train goes. But I shall have to rely on you for most of my | |||
information about New York, darling. Be sure to keep your eyes open and take | |||
notes of your impressions! It will be such a help. Good-bye, Mr. Wooster. I | |||
will send Motty back early in the afternoon." | |||
They went out, and I howled for Jeeves. | |||
"Jeeves! What about it?" | |||
"Sir?" | |||
"What's to be done? You heard it all, didn't you? You were in the dining-room | |||
most of the time. That pill is coming to stay here." | |||
"Pill, sir?" | |||
"The excrescence." | |||
"I beg your pardon, sir?" | |||
I looked at Jeeves sharply. This sort of thing wasn't like him. It was as if | |||
he were deliberately trying to give me the pip. Then I understood. The man was | |||
really upset about that tie. He was trying to get his own back. | |||
"Lord Pershore will be staying here from to-night, Jeeves," I said coldly. | |||
"Very good, sir. Breakfast is ready, sir." | |||

I went and dressed sadly. It will show you pretty well how pipped I was when I | |||
tell you that I near as a toucher put on a white tie with a dinner-jacket. I | |||
sallied out for a bit of food more to pass the time than because I wanted it. | |||
It seemed brutal to be wading into the bill of fare with poor old Bicky headed | |||
for the breadline. | |||
{%- endmark %} | |||
When I got back old Chiswick had gone to bed, but Bicky was there, hunched up | |||
in an arm-chair, brooding pretty tensely, with a cigarette hanging out of the | |||
corner of his mouth and a more or less glassy stare in his eyes. He had the | |||
aspect of one who had been soaked with what the newspaper chappies call "some | |||
blunt instrument." | |||
"This is a bit thick, old thing—what!" I said. | |||
He picked up his glass and drained it feverishly, overlooking the fact that it | |||
hadn't anything in it. | |||
"I'm done, Bertie!" he said. | |||
He had another go at the glass. It didn't seem to do him any good. | |||
"If only this had happened a week later, Bertie! My next month's money was due | |||
to roll in on Saturday. I could have worked a wheeze I've been reading about | |||
in the magazine advertisements. It seems that you can make a dashed amount of | |||
money if you can only collect a few dollars and start a chicken-farm. Jolly | |||
sound scheme, Bertie! Say you buy a hen—call it one hen for the sake of | |||
argument. It lays an egg every day of the week. You sell the eggs seven for | |||
twenty-five cents. Keep of hen costs nothing. Profit practically twenty-five | |||
cents on every seven eggs. Or look at it another way: Suppose you have a dozen | |||
eggs. Each of the hens has a dozen chickens. The chickens grow up and have | |||
more chickens. Why, in no time you'd have the place covered knee-deep in hens, | |||
all laying eggs, at twenty-five cents for every seven. You'd make a fortune. | |||
Jolly life, too, keeping hens!" He had begun to get quite worked up at the | |||
thought of it, but he slopped back in his chair at this juncture with a good | |||
deal of gloom. "But, of course, it's no good," he said, "because I haven't the | |||
cash." | |||
"You've only to say the word, you know, Bicky, old top." | |||
"Thanks awfully, Bertie, but I'm not going to sponge on you." | |||
That's always the way in this world. The chappies you'd like to lend money to | |||
won't let you, whereas the chappies you don't want to lend it to will do | |||
everything except actually stand you on your head and lift the specie out of | |||
your pockets. As a lad who has always rolled tolerably free in the right | |||
stuff, I've had lots of experience of the second class. Many's the time, back | |||
in London, I've hurried along Piccadilly and felt the hot breath of the | |||
toucher on the back of my neck and heard his sharp, excited yapping as he | |||
closed in on me. I've simply spent my life scattering largesse to blighters I | |||
didn't care a hang for; yet here was I now, dripping doubloons and pieces of | |||
eight and longing to hand them over, and Bicky, poor fish, absolutely on his | |||
uppers, not taking any at any price. | |||
"Well, there's only one hope, then." | |||
"What's that?" | |||
"Jeeves." | |||
"Sir?" | |||
There was Jeeves, standing behind me, full of zeal. In this matter of | |||
shimmering into rooms the chappie is rummy to a degree. You're sitting in the | |||
old armchair, thinking of this and that, and then suddenly you look up, and | |||
there he is. He moves from point to point with as little uproar as a jelly | |||
fish. The thing startled poor old Bicky considerably. He rose from his seat | |||
like a rocketing pheasant. I'm used to Jeeves now, but often in the days when | |||
he first came to me I've bitten my tongue freely on finding him unexpectedly | |||
in my midst. | |||
