Jeeves and Bertie Wooster in “The Purity of the Turf”

The boy is a flyer, sir.

How do you know?

I happened to be pursuing him this morning with a view to fetching him a clip on the side of the head.

Great Scott, Jeeves! You?

The lad is of an outspoken disposition, sir, and had made an opprobrious remark respecting my appearance.

What did he say about your appearance?

[coldly] I do not recall, sir. But it was opprobrious.
