- ..like the case of "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy" where he...well, I
- think I'll just let the Master speak for himself:
-
- "'...Before telephoning to Miss Moon, I took the further liberty of striking
- Mr Sipperly a sharp blow on the head with one of your golf-clubs, which was
- fortunately lying in a corner of the room. The putter, I believe, sir. If you
- recollect, you were practising this morning before you left.'
-
- I gaped at the blighter. I had always known Jeeves for a man of infinite
- sagacity, sound beyond belief on any question of ties or spats; but never
- before had I suspected him capable of strong-arm work like this. It seemed to
- open up an entirely new aspect of the fellow. I can't put it better than by
- saying that, as I gazed at him, the scales seemed to fall from my eyes."
-
- Good stuff, what? :-)
