You know, the longer I live, the more clearly I see that half the trouble in this bally world is caused by the lighthearted and thoughtless way in which chappies dash off letters of introduction and hand them to other chappies to deliver to chappies of the third part.
I am all with Wooster about letters of introduction. And there is one thing worse than receiving them: it's when someone you barely know comes and asks you to give witness about his mind and soul and general fitness for human consumption. But getting back to the matter in hand: given that Wooster, if I am not mistaken, once got a prize for Biblical knowledge, I suggest that in a case like this he stiffren the upper lip and give the introducer a bit of "Am I my brother's guardian?" (or rather, your introducee's guardian). It's early Genesis, near the beginning, so I guess his memory shouldn't need to be jogged, if you know what I mean.
