Right Ho, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse

Name: Right Ho, Jeeves
Author: P. G. Wodehouse

The scene is set in the sitting room of Bertram Wooster's home, where he has just returned from a night out at the Drones Club. He finds Jeeves and Gussie Fink-Nottle, who is dressed as Mephistopheles, engaged in conversation. As Bertram enters, he notices that Jeeves seems to be in a bit of a huff, and he asks if this is dudgeon. Jeeves explains that he has been instructed by Mr. Fink-Nottle to remain on the premises for an evening visit from Gussie himself. Bertram offers his love to Gussie and instructs Jeeves to bring him a whisky and soda. He then departs, leaving Jeeves and Gussie alone in the sitting room. As Bertram exits, he reflects on the events of the evening, including his earlier conversation with Jeeves about the mess-jacket and his plans for Pongo Twistleton's birthday party. He also thinks about his encounter with Madeline Bassett at Cannes and how she might be a good match for Gussie. The scene ends with Bertram leaving the house, unaware of the drama that is about to unfold between Jeeves and Gussie in the sitting room.
