Bertie Wooster and Gussie Fink-Nottle in “Right Ho, Jeeves!”

What's all this about you not writing to Madeline?

Madeline?

Madeline! Do you realize she's started sending telegrams about it? For all our sakes, Gussie, write to her!

I am not at all pleased with Madeline. It was she who made me come to this ghastly place. I only consented on the understanding that she'd come too. Then, at the last moment, she coolly backed out on the flimsy plea that some school friend of hers needs her. She must be made to realize she can't do that sort of thing. So I'm not going to write to her. It's a sort of a system.

Gussie, for the last time, will you or will you not immediately compose an eight-page letter breathing love in every syllable and post it to Madeline?

Not!
