- One of the most hilarious moments in a Jeeves/Bertie book is when someone
- recites a parody of a romantic poem, in which the setting sun is compared
- in appearance to an overly rare slice of roast beef. I'm sure I own
- this book, but I've leafed through my collection several times looking
- for the quotation, and haven't been able to find it.
-
- Can anyone out there name the book in which this quote appears?
