Ha! Do you ever feel like throwing open the window and shouting that the world is a wonderful place, Jeeves?
Erm... no, sir.
Or dancing in the street, scattering petals on the passers-by?
Only infrequently, sir.

Good Lord! Ginger Winship!
GWGinger Winship
Bertie! Nice to see you!
You down here for the wedding?
GWGinger Winship
No, no. There's a by-election. I'm standing for Parliament.
No!
GWGinger Winship
I am!
But you're an absolute idiot, Ginger!
GWGinger Winship
I know!
Something up with the bath?
The water appears reluctant to drain, sir.
Oh. Pulled the plug out, have you?
That was amongst the first things I thought of, sir.
Yes, well I'm sorry, Ginger, but there's a snag here. I expect you've spotted it.
GWGinger Winship
Florence.
Well done.
GWGinger Winship
No, it's all right. I'm going to get Florence to break our engagement.
No, no, no, no, no! Ginger, let's not be hasty!
GWGinger Winship
I'm going to lose the election.
How? The voters of Totleigh-in-the-Wold would elect Bobsey the cloth-eared bunny rabbit if he was wearing a blue rosette.
[Bertie sits in his bedroom while Jeeves cleans in the adjacent bathroom]
Who was that fellow with the circles, Jeeves?
You are perhaps thinking of the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, sir, who, in the first part of his Divina Commedia, is conducted by Virgil through the nine circles of Hell.
That's the chap. Well, those fellows he bumped into had it easy.
One could beg to take issue with you there, sir.
Were any of them engaged to marry Florence Craye?
The poet makes no mention of it, sir.
Or condemned to stand, whey-faced and trembling, at the altar steps while Madeline Bassett advanced on them, up the aisle, on the arm of her father?
Indeed not, sir.
Well, it had to happen to somebody one day, I suppose. And it happened to me today. Fate has dealt me the royal flush, Jeeves: I'm engaged to Madeline Bassett and Lady Florence at the same time.
[Jeeves immediately stops cleaning and enters the bedroom]
Oh. [pause] Oh dear, sir.
[about Bertie] I think he's having a brainstorm!
What with?
[Bertie has pretended to faint]
We should loosen his collar.
I hardly think such drastic measures are called for, Miss Bassett.
