Desperate times...

[sweet-fallacy.livejournal.com]

Quick question. Which story did Bertie say something along the lines of:

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Jeeves! Pour Mr. Glossop a desperate measure."

The wording is probably inaccurate and it may or may not have been Glossop that had come to Bertie for aid.

I believe the phrase has been used in more than one story, but the use I recall is, I'm pretty sure, in The Code of the Woosters.

...Or perhaps in Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves? I've reread both recently and I'm all muddled now. :\

That's actually from the final episode of the tv series. Bertie was trying to convince Tuppy to sneak into Lady Florence's room and retrieve the Jr. Ganymede Club book.
