So, I have re-read all of the Jeeves and Bertie novels (except Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, which I've never read and still can't bring myself to read for reasons which are probably silly, but there you are) and I have started on the short stories. One of the ones I recently got through was "Pearls Mean Tears", which contains the following two paragraphs (bolding mine):
( Bertie and Jeeves have a tiff about a cummerbund )
Oh, Wodehouse! I know it's just Bertie's typical hyperbolic style, but that's not even subtext. XD
Also, I have a question. I could swear that there's a scene in one of the novels where Bertie is chatting with some goofy girl, and he is suddenly overwhelmed by an impulse to kiss her. However, something interrupts him at the last minute and nothing ever comes of it. Thing is, I've read through all the novels again and I haven't seen it. Am I just imagining this? Is it one of those things that's in some editions but not others? Was it one of the short stories instead of one of the novels? HALP!
