Hello all! I have a day off and I decided to reread Jeeves in the Morning, one of my favorites. I'm about halfway through, and I've hit two wonderful quotes that I had somehow forgotten since my last reading. I thought I'd share. They both happen in a conversation between Bertie and Boko Fittleworth. The first is just sweet, and the second is hilarious taken out of context, with a dash of modern slang.



Quote the first:

"Dash it, man, if she could love you in spite of those grey flannel trousers of yours, it isn't likely that any mere acting of the goat on your part will have choked her off. Love is indestructible. Its holy flame burneth forever."
"Who told you that?"
"Jeeves."
"He ought to know."
"He does."


Quote the second:

"Bertie Wooster let me down? No, no, I would have said – Not Bertie, who not only was at school with me but is at this very moment bursting with my meat."
This was a nasty one. I wasn't actually bursting with his meat, of course, because there hadn't been such a frightful lot of it.



Burn!
