Bertie Wooster and Jeeves in “Bridegroom Wanted”

Um, a problem has arisen in the life of, uh, a friend of mine, Jeeves, who shall remain nameless, and I want — or rather he wants — your advice.

Certainly, sir.

Well, ah, I must begin by saying that this is one of those delicate problems where not only must my friend be nameless, but all the other personnel as well.

Would you prefer it if we were to term the protagonists A and B, sir?

Yes, or North and South.

A and B is more customary, sir.

Yes, well, you know best, Jeeves. Very well. Now then, A is male and B female. You follow me so far?

You have been lucidity itself, sir.
