I had had a sort of vague idea, don’t you know, that if I stuck close to Motty and went about the place with him, I might act as a bit of a damper on the gaiety. What I mean is, I thought that if, when he was being the life and soul of the party, he were to catch my reproving eye he might ease up a trifle on the revelry. So the next night I took him along to supper with me. It was the last time. I’m a quiet, peaceful sort of chappie who has lived all his life in London, and I can’t stand the pace these swift sportsmen from the rural districts set. What I mean to say is this, I’m all for rational enjoyment and so forth, but I think a chappie makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan. And decent mirth and all that sort of thing are all right, but I do bar dancing on tables and having to dash all over the place dodging waiters, managers, and chuckers-out, just when you want to sit still and digest.
Not only the Pershore Shenanigans write a dark page in New York history, but if you add the night chanting of a whole gang, I guess the moss is likely to fall off the Old Oaken Bucket pretty quick. Moss thrives best in peace and quiet. Luckily a NY cop is even more liable to become irked when socked in the eye than a London bobby would. Jeeves has a unique way to insert himself across disasters, rather like that whats-its-name bird with a cutting beak... Paramahansa, isn't it? ...and break a chain of events which appears unstoppable. He stops it. Every time.
