“Sleepy Hollow, eh?” “Yes, sir, the site of Washington Irving’s tale.” “Ah, chap wrote about the ninepins.” “Yes, sir, the story of Rip Van Winkle.” “I thought you said Washington Irving.” “Yes sir.” “Then who is ripping Winkles?” “He is a character, sir…” “I should imagine so, Jeeves.” “Indeed, sir.” “And this graveyard is where he played ninepins?” “No, sir, it is where the headless horseman rides again.” “Without his head?” “Yes, sir.” “Whatsit?” “I believe he is looking for a new one, sir.” “A new head?” “Yes, sir.” “Let us return to New York before dark.” “Very good, sir.”
Oh, definitely, definitely. Because I am paranoid, I am now wondering why Jeeves wanted to urge Bertie out of there by bringing up Sleepy Hollow. *glee*
