The Code of the Woosters (1)

by P.G. Wodehouse

“Childe Roland to the dark tower came sir,”

From his earliest years, there has always been something distinctive and individual about Gussie’s timbre, reminding the hearer partly of an escape of gas from a gas-pipe and partly of a sheep calling to its young in the lambing season.

“There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself ‘Do trousers matter?’.” “The mood will pass, sir.”

Jeeves, you really are a specific dream-rabbit.”

The best compliment I've heard in ages.

Didn’t you tell me once that the Code of the Woosters was ‘Never let a pal down’?”
