Bertie Wooster and his cousin Angela talking about her love for Gussie Fink-Nottle. ''Well, that’s what I meant when I said it was all perfect drivel. You can’t possibly love a chap like Gussie.” “Why not?” “You simply can’t.” Well, I mean to say, of course she couldn’t. Nobody could love a freak like Gussie except a similar freak like the Bassett. The shot wasn’t on the board. A splendid chap, of course, in many ways–courteous, amiable, and just the fellow to tell you what to do till the doctor came, if you had a sick newt on your hands–but quite obviously not of Mendelssohn’s March timber. I have no doubt that you could have flung bricks by the hour in England’s most densely populated districts without endangering the safety of a single girl capable of becomiing Mrs. Augustus Fink-Nottle without an anaesthetic. I put this to her, and she was forced to admit the justice of it. “All right, then. Perhaps I don’t.”
A quotation from jeeves and wodehouse written by pg wodehouse. Jeeves is speaking '“I was thinking of an incident of my earlier life, sir, before I entered your employment. I was in the service of the late Lord Brancaster at the time, a gentleman who owned a parrot to which he was greatly devoted, and one day the bird chanced to be lethargic, and his lordship, with the kindly intention of restoring it to its customary animation, offered it a portion of seed cake steeped in the ’84 port. The bird accepted the morsel gratefully and consumed it with every indication of satisfaction. Almost immediately afterwards, however, its manner became markedly feverish. Having bitten his lordship in the thumb and sung part of a sea-chanty, it fell to the bottom of the cage and remained there for a considerable period of time with its legs in the air, unable to move. I merely mention this, sir''
An excerpt from a PG Wodehouse novel. Bertie Wooster is describing his relationship with his Aunts 'As a rule, you see, I'm not lugged into Family Rows. On the occasions when Aunt is calling Aunt like mastodons bellowing across primeval swamps and Uncle James's letter about Cousin Mabel's peculiar behaviour is being shot round the family circle ('Please read this carefully and send it on Jane') the clan has a tendency to ignore me. It's one of the advantages I get from being a bachelor - and, according to my nearest and dearest, practically a half-witted bachelor at that. '
