Jeeves and Bertie Wooster in “Pearls Mean Tears”

Did you have a pleasant afternoon, sir?

You have a cruel streak, Jeeves. I hadn't realized it before. What blighter was it that invented the bicycle?

The first truly rideable machine was made by a Mr. Kirkpatrick Macmillan of Dumfriesshire in Scotland in, erm, 1839, I believe, sir.

Oh. Too late to do anything about it now, I suppose.

I fear so, sir.
