Bertie Wooster and Jeeves in “Bertie Sets Sail”

She's a fair size, Jeeves.

Indeed, sir.

Puts one in mind of Honoria Glossop in that white dress she used to wear at hunt balls.

The similarity is a striking one, sir.

Now, Jeeves, why do you think they built all these tall buildings?

Well, sir, it was partly because of the restricted size of Manhattan Island and partly because the island is solid granite and therefore capable of supporting such structures.

Nothing to do with having got the plans sideways, then.

No, sir.

That's what Barmy told me.

You will pardon me for saying so, sir, but Mr. Fotheringay-Phipps is not noted for his architectural expertise.
