Quote meaning - Please Answer

[life-of-amesu.livejournal.com]

Halloa,

Since we all know Wodehouse to be the inventive and creative man that he was, usually using unique and time appropriate language (i.e. old bean and crumpet, chewing on the carpet, tight as an owl wetc). Ir might be a completely silly question but I was wondering if any good person here would know what the following quote meant: (re: the bold text bits) (It's from How Right You Are, Jeeves)

"You will observe me bowling up in the Wooster sports model tomorrow afternoon with my hair in a braid and a song on my lips."



Thank you my daring and awesome Wooster friends. :)

I thought it was a reference to the Flight of the Valkyries, by Wagner. The Valkyries have braided hair and sing as they go to fetch a fallen warrior. But that's just a guess.

Ooh, that makes sense too. Maybe a little more context would be helpful (since I at least can't place the plot of a Wodehouse story based on the title most of the time). Why and where is Bertie bowling up to tomorrow afternoon?

lists it as
How Right You Are, Jeeves (aka Jeeves in the Offing)

But it sounds like Bertie is being called away to the countryside to help one of his friends, and this is his joyful, Bertie way of saying he'll be there with bells on. Another wacko English expression, huh?
